BREAKING: We just won our appeal in our Emoluments Clause case against Donald Trump, on behalf of Trump's restaurant and hotel competitors. The Second Circuit panel unanimously reverses the district court's dismissal, across the board. Opinion coming shortly.

Here's the decision: assets.documentcloud.org/documents/6405…
I wrote too soon--it's not unanimous; apparently there is a dissent but I have not read it yet.

1. Will this go to the Supreme Court?

Just curious.

2. Of course it will...

Trump's strategy has always been to keep violating the law while the slow wheels of the judiciary grind. Delay, delay, delay. Run out the clock. It's been the Trump family strategy for decades.

3. It will if SCOTUS decides to take it. NT

5. Good point. But Trump only needs four for cert and he goes into it with 2 in the bag.

My guess is that he picks up Alito and Thomas pretty easily.

But your point is taken - SCOTUS will make the decision to take/not take the case.

4. Let's Go Friday 13th

This is great but we want more!

6. This is great news!

7. Great! 'The Process' keeps grinding on.

[Bayard]

8. WOOT!!

Hopefully, this opens the floodgates.

9. Interesting. That's the court from which his sister just retired rather than face tax dodge inquiry
