        UPDATE: Lawyer for the plaintiffs, @deepakguptalaw, says "There is no question that there will be an appeal" of today's Emoluments decision. DOJ, meanwhile, "appreciates" today's ruling. https://www.buzzfeed.com/chrisgeidner/federal-court-dismisses-case-claiming-that-trumps-ongoing?utm_term=.hcXldXeOY#.luyAvDxGX …pic.twitter.com/FapGMPJlI3

        Probably by a Trump appointed judge.

        If we lose the courts as a stop against him, we're in trouble since we know Congress is in his pocket. This is very concerning.

        Hey, I think Trump is emolumenty af. But from a constitutional law standpoint this suit was hopeless.

        Can you explain, for those of us who have no legal background?

        Replying to @mjjel1 @chrisgeidner and

        It’s a question of who enforces the Constitution against the President. If anybody could just file a lawsuit on the grounds the President has acted unconstitutionally he’d be buried in litigation. The Court seems to say Emoluments is Congress’s to enforce.

        This is consistent wit decades of precedent. Like I say, it’s not the result I would wish for here but the law is for the moment still the law.

        If you gave that summary in law school, the prof would grunt, let you sit down, and call on the next guy. Good work.

        It was intended to be a funny way of saying “exactly right.” Have a good day!

        Great. This is purely a legal question, time for appeal to the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeal.

        It's very strange to me that the emoluments clause even includes an out with Congressional consent
