This lawsuit will be no more when the court rules that the plaintiff "lacks standing" to bring the suit, and will dismiss the case without considering the merits of the claim .
To have a court allow a lawsuit to go forward, there must be a valid reason for the lawsuit. The party suing must have something to lose in order to sue .
Your insights are pleasing to the Great Leader, comrade.

How would one expect Trump to divest completely? We're talking about a family run business with many billions in assets. We're talking selling every single building and asset and firing and divesting his sons/family.

You might as well make a Constitutional amendment saying that those in business cannot run for office - any public elective office without giving away their whole life. Basically, only lawyers need apply. It's already mostly lawyer backgrounds in office and look at how that has worked out.

You want to be President? You accept the rules with the job. Simple.

They have gained standing in the past because the ethical breech kept them from their other duties/responsibilities. The ethics concerns are bi-partisan by the way.

Trump is a dirtbag liar. The taxes could probably be brought forth during discovery. Uh oh. We don't want that, right?

Comrade Trumpski.

Point is even if he gave them full ownership of everything, people would still be whining. "Well, he still talks to his sons".

No, slow one. All that is required for Trump to put all of his assets into a blind trust is one signature on a piece of paper. He won't do it. Giving it to his sons doesn't pass the smell test...at all.

Full divestiture. If he won't do it, he has violated the Constitution and should be impeached. Why should Trump get an ethics pass when he has already proven himself to be both a liar and highly unethical?

He wants to have his cake and eat it too...no way. Our President is required to be free of conflicts of interest. Very simple.

Just saying. It was a fact he proved everyday his entire life. Leftists don't see it because they feel the same way.
I disagree, but I'm not a leftist or a neoconservative like you, so maybe there's some kool-aid I need to drink before I can understand your special perspective on reality.

or FDX... man you are in the wrong profession

OK. Mr. Originalist. The framers of the Constitution were very clear regarding the Emoluments Clause. Your FOX buddies can provide alternative facts all day long, but it is obvious that Trump is in violation on multiple counts. He LOVES The Constitution and has promised to appoint a Scalia-like Originalist to the SCOTUS, which will never happen because he needs 60 votes in the Senate. That means a more moderate pick.

Here is what should concern you Nosferatu, but obviously does not. Trump will not divest, and the pathetic attempts he has tossed out there won't fly. That means he has violated The Constitution. Second, those pesky taxes will probably reveal ties with Russia, but almost surely China, because Trump has his branded crap made there. Who knows what other compromising arrangements he has.

So no matter how Sean Hannity attempts to spin-it, Trump's orange ass is in the fire.

The first Birther was Hillary .
She the one who started the movement and a supporter of hers was the lawyer who continued to bring lawsuit after lawsuit .

By the way the FBI has cleared Gen. Michael Flynn of any wrong doing .
And Trump's approval rating is up to 57%.

Come on. We all know he was really a Muslim. Remember the Head Birther guy who was always trying to plant that seed? What was his name...umm, Rump, or was it Dump. Something like that.
Obama's choice to be the head of the CIA was ( is ) married to a muslim and attends conferences with members of the Muslim Brotherhood .
