The lawyers were waiting, and now they pounced. Going after Trump for his business, violating the Constitution by receiving money from foreign countries. But eh... How can they just go after one example of this happening and just ignore the rest?
The problem is that the plaintiffs need to establish standing; they need to show that they are proper parties to file a lawsuit against Trump. This is typically shown by injury - that a party has lost financially against the defendant.
And there's an issue whether the plaintiffs against Trump here have standing, as their "injury" is highly debatable.
I don't think that would work either. We would need to show actual injury for it to be a slam dunk. Otherwise a decision stemming from this action will always have problems.
That said, it's probably premature.
A good plaintiff for this kind of action would be the Four Seasons hotel in DC, as its losing events to the Trump Hotel (the Kuwaiti event in particular was moved to Trump after the election - a clear signal of pay to play, while damaging the business of Four Seasons.
The Four Seasons would be a great litmus case. Do you think it is likely we will see some sort of litigation involving them and the Trump Hotel?
I feel Trump is in a bad spot since he's already got an army of lawyers gunning for him in a way no other President has had to deal with while in office. I figure it's only a matter of time before they break through against him. Question is going to be more timelines and whether they can be successful in a short amount of time rather than getting something dragged out for 4 years.
I don't see Four Seasons trying to get into a legal battle with the government. The biggest issue I have with all of this is that the tax payer money is used to defend Trump.
Think about how crooked that is.
I wonder what ki fagsushi thinks of this. After all he's a very principled man of God and stoic "stands to reason" simple minded Republican.
You know what I think?
Go fuck yourself, you rabid cunt.
My mind is blown. Who fucking posts a picture of the guy running the football?
Someone with a large ego.
Press has done it before.
Tacky, not against protocol.
You mean sold $200,000 country club memberships to sit in on the command center meetings of the SCROTUS?
I think we both know who likes SCROTUS.
