Trump is racking up one high-court victory after another . . . .

The travel ban was found to be Constitutional.   DACA was stopped by the 11th circuit two freaking years ago.  And now we learn that the "Emolument Clause"  is not a consideration in the Trump case,  per a court decision made by a Clinton appointed by Bill Clinton  ~  editor

 

Left-wing activists who breathlessly claimed that lawsuits against President Donald Trump for allegedly violating the Constitution’s Emoluments Clauses would lead to his expulsion from office are now probably disappointed because a Clinton-appointed federal judge has dismissed the lawsuit.

President Trump has vast real estate and business interests in the United States and around the world. These are out of his hands because they are held in a trust. His private-sector sons now run the family business while he is in office, and while the president was still a private citizen, he set up a process whereby any profits his hotels and other properties receive from foreign sources will be automatically donated in full to the U.S. treasury.
Around the time of his Inauguration, the president was sued by a liberal advocacy group, Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW), joined by some hospitality-industry plaintiffs (hotels and restaurants). They argued that it was unconstitutional for Donald Trump to serve as president without completing severing all connections to his business interests and suggested that he could not effectively do so and thus is ineligible to be president.
As Judge George Daniels of Southern District of New York explained in his December 21 opinion dismissing the case, “Plaintiffs principally allege that Defendant’s ‘vast, complicated, and secret’ business interests are creating conflicts of interest and have resulted in unprecedented government influence in violation of the Domestic and Foreign Emoluments Clauses.”  Keep reading here  . . . . .
