Appeals Court Tosses Democrats’ Emoluments Lawsuit Against Trump
Democrats had sought to argue that Mr. Trump was violating the Constitution because his private business empire was profiting from foreign governments that sought to patronize his hotels, resorts and other properties to build positive relationships with the president.
The lawmakers alleged that Mr. Trump couldn’t accept emoluments—things of value—from foreign governments without the consent of Congress.
WASHINGTON—A federal appeals court threw out a lawsuit by more than 200 Democratic members of Congress that alleged President Trump was improperly profiting from his presidency.
A three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit ruled unanimously that the lawmakers didn’t have legal standing to proceed with their claims.

Yes, this suit was before the House had the majority. Two others are still valid though.
Does it matter? Pelosi, Nadler, Schiff, the Mean Girl's Squad, etc have made it clear they will never stop attacking the president on every front.
Taxpayer money, the average citizen's opinion, reality, etc. doesn't matter when irrational hatred has taken over. I'm sure they'll concoct another reason to clog up the courts.
Yes indeed, who do they think they are? They act as if the House has the duty of oversight or something. Kings don't have oversight by other groups of legislators, they should know that. We need to get on their butts about such!
