MORE WINNING: Trump Beats Democrats' Emoluments Lawsuit

Via Zerohedge:

Trump's 'best week' has just gotten a little better, after the US Court of Appeals for the DC Circuit tossed out Congressional Democrats' third attempt to nail Trump after claiming he is in violation of the Constitution's Emoluments Clause.
In a Friday decision, the court vacated a district court judge's ruling that the Democrats had standing to sue Trump for accepting foreign payments at his Washington DC hotel, according to law.com - adding that the court would not participate in a political debate.
"Because we conclude that the Members lack standing, we reverse the district court and remand with instructions to dismiss their complaint," said Judges Karen LeCraft Henderson, Thomas Griffith and David Tatel in a per curiam opinion.

    CNN reporting that Vindman and his lawyer twin were fired and were “walked out of the White House”...

    1. Not a matter of luck. I wasn't sitting in front of my computer, that's all. I moderate all the comments.

    2. Mark, it wasn’t that. The post comment fields were not working right. When I clicked on Publish, it took me back to a blank field and removed my username. Never could get to the Captcha stage. Stuff happens.

  2. 5 for 5. The Dem's lost "once a day, every day, all day long" everyday of the week. DJT needs to kick back and have a cold one (of whatever his favorite beverage is). He deserves it.

  3. For what it's worth, I consider ZeroHedge a place where everything little or big thing is the end of the financial and real world. Not to say Tyler get's it right time to time, but many iterations tend to be helping their bottom line than anything else.

    1. There's a lot of clickbait there, but often enough things that are hard to find elsewhere and timely new items.
