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.

OP
greymattermom
(5,754 posts)1. Will this go to the Supreme Court?
Just curious.

(6,351 posts)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.

CincyDem
(6,351 posts)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.

Hopefully, this opens the floodgates.
