>>defeated congressional Democrats’ constitutional challenge to his business interests

>>Trump had appointed 2 judges for the DC Circuit Court.

So this is what it feels like to be under a D-5 avalanche!

Wonderful!

interesting ruling and rightly decided

The constitution allows emoluments:
No title of nobility shall be granted by the United States: and no person holding any office of profit or trust under them, shall, without the consent of the Congress, accept of any present, emolument, office, or title, of any kind whatever, from any king, prince, or foreign state.

Appeals court:

"Our conclusion is straightforward because the Members -- 29 Senators and 186 Members of the House of Representatives -- do not constitute a majority of either body and are, therefore, powerless to approve or deny the President's acceptance of foreign emoluments."
