Topic	Turncoat Toddler Trump's Terrible Tedious Tawdry Tantrum: The Trilogy!
streamofthesky 01/27/21 4:45:06 PM #325:	https://apnews.com/article/supreme-court-ends-trump-lawsuits-df42ef0eec5fa57edf3e294234051d88 The Supreme Court on Monday brought an end to lawsuits over whether Donald Trump illegally profited off his presidency, saying the cases are moot now that Trump is no longer in office. The high courts action was the first in an expected steady stream of orders and rulings on pending lawsuits involving Trump now that his presidency has ended. Some orders may result in dismissals of cases since Trump is no longer president. In other cases, proceedings that had been delayed because Trump was in the White House could resume and their pace even quicken. The justices threw out Trumps challenge to lower court rulings that had allowed lawsuits to go forward alleging that he violated the Constitutions emoluments clause by accepting payments from foreign and domestic officials who stay at the Trump International Hotel and patronize other businesses owned by the former president and his family. The high court also ordered the lower court rulings thrown out as well and directed appeals courts in New York and Richmond, Virginia, to dismiss the suits as moot now that Trump is no longer in office. The outcome leaves no appellate court opinions on the books in an area of the law that has been rarely explored in U.S. history. https://www.politico.com/news/2021/01/25/supreme-court-trump-emolument-cases-462134 The outcome in the cases also signals how ineffective the courts proved to be in policing Trump's alleged violations of the emoluments clauses, which prohibit any president from receiving funds related to their official duties from any foreign or state government. One of the suits, brought by the group Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington, along with New York area restaurant owners and workers, was filed days after Trump took office in 2017. The other was filed in June of that year by the attorneys general of the District of Columbia and Maryland. After more than three years in the courts, neither case had reached a fact-finding stage. What the absolute fuck?!!! "Yeah, he may have illegally profited from his presidency, but since he's no longer president that doesn't matter anymore, b/c as we all know, all those ill-gotten gains vanished into thin air the moment he left the White House" Apparently you really CAN appeal your way into being above the law, just delaying justice long enough. That's fucking disgusting. Like hell anything would've been done to him for emoluments if he won another 4 years anyway.
