Judge Peter Messitte rules that DC and MD have standing to bring their Emoluments Clause suit:pic.twitter.com/mlqqCJaaLP
Maine Gov. Paul LePage staying at the Trump International Hotel when in DC to meet with Trump played a not insignificant role in the opinion:pic.twitter.com/yMS3pKfeJO
In finding that DC & MD succeeded in showing injury-in-fact regarding their proprietary interests: "[Trump] is not merely a market participant, they say; he is actively diverting business from Plaintiffs’ entities."pic.twitter.com/uA24UBt69n
Note: This is ONLY about standing. Basically, "Are they (MD & DC) parties who can bring this lawsuit?" The court said, "Yes." This isn't, tho, even yet about the meaning of "emolument." (See below.) In sum: We're still a long way from any ruling that would make something happen.pic.twitter.com/flnlALw23J
Its about fuckin time...
Hello, you can read it here: https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/979042860703141888.html …
You can share this as much as you want. Have a good day. 
I think we may need to re-think why Dowd resigned.
This is how we are going to neutralize Trump and bring him down. With smart, tenacious lawyers taking him to court for every infraction of the law, whether big or small. This ruling is a taste of things to come. It's like having a big, beautiful chocolate cake and eating it too!
Exciting!
YAYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
