So, are Laurence Tribe and his unprincipled band of Democrat troublemakers going to win standing with their phony plaintiffs, who rather admitted to the WaPo they have suffered no harm from foreign delegations [maybe] staying in Trump hotels?

https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/two-plaintiffs-join-suit-against-trump-alleging-breach-of-emoluments-clause/2017/04/17/1d4aaa70-238a-11e7-a1b3-faff0034e2de_story.html?utm_term=.357bf4211643

“I joined this lawsuit because the president is taking business away from me and others with unfair business practices that violate the Constitution,” Phaneuf said in a written statement. She declined to comment when asked if she could cite an example where a Trump hotel had taken her business away.

What a fraud Tribe, et al., are, especially since Hillary via the Clinton Foundation is likely guilty of dozens of Emolument Clause violations.
