Supreme Court Acknowledges Donald J Trump Has Stepped Down

For John, BLUF:  This is about the Constitution's Emoluments Clause (Article I, Section 9, Clause 8 ).  I think that deep down inside the Democrafts are concerned that Donald and Melania named their Son Barron.  Nothing to see here; just move along.

Supreme Court Dismisses Emoluments Cases Against Trump Brought By Rabid Democrats

From The Gateway Pundit, by Reporter Cristina Laila, 25 January 2021, 1:36pm.

Here is the lede plus two:

The Supreme Court on Monday dismissed emoluments clause lawsuits against Donald Trump.

In an order that was issued with no dissent, the highest court of the land instructed lower courts to toss out opinions against Trump since he is no longer in office.

For years Trump endured judicial harassment after rabid Democrats lawmakers and attorneys general of DC and Maryland sued him over 3 years ago because foreign government officials stayed at Trump’s DC hotel.

It is Gateway Pundit, which explains the over-the-top reporting.

Funnily enough one might have thought the First Branch would take this as a hint, and drop the Trial for the Second Impeachment.  Alas, no.
