The Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals on Thursday revived a lawsuit from the Maryland and Washington, D.C. attorneys general that accuses President Trump of violating the Constitution’s Foreign and Domestic Emoluments Clauses by benefiting from use of the Trump International Hotel by foreign and U.S. officials.
The case previously had been ordered dismissed by a Fourth Circuit panel. But the full roster of judges reheard the case and, in a 9-6 decision, determined Trump cannot have the court overrule a lower court’s decision to deny him certification to appeal before trial.
“Notably, notwithstanding the President’s vigorous assertion that the court erred in its legal analysis, he does not contend that the district court denied certification for nonlegal reasons or in bad faith,” said Thursday’s opinion, written by Judge Diana Gribbon Motz.

We are moving towards a violent civil war, and our side has more guns in private hands
I’m sure they think they really have him this time. Rachel Maddow might even read the decision. I’d say the same thing about CNN legal analyst Jeffrey Toobin ... well, there’s a first time for everything.
The left’s desperation is palpable.
Patriots MUST stand ready to defend this Nation, again.
This will go nowhere. It is stupid on its face.
How/why is this a violation when Pelosi adamantly exempting American Samoa from the minimum wage act where her husband has a huge financial interest in not having a minimum wage?
In that case, it was a specific carve-out placed into the bill.
No that Drudge has gone to the dark side, is there a similarly structured site to go to
Now we that Drudge has gone to the dark side, is there a similarly structured site to go to
I sure as hell hope we can ‘kneecap’ the next Democrat President ...
“No that Drudge has gone to the dark side, is there a similarly structured site to go to”
Try “THE LIBERTY DAILY” It is conservative.
Fixed it.

A 9-6 decision is stunning in this Appeals Court which has 9 DemocRAT appointees and 6 judges appointed by Republicans. It will be a very long time before the composition of this Agendanista court can be corrected.
