Emoluments Schmoluments

STANDING = Potential imminent or actual concrete injury to the plaintiff(s) -  (required to allow a civil case to be tried).

This will kill this lawsuit.  Who has standing in this case?  Everyone and no one.  We all stand to lose, but there is no evidence of concrete or imminent injury, economic, physical, psychological or otherwise.  No judge will see this case.

Result: Failure to find liability will be touted as exoneration (even if there is no trial).  We shall never speak of it again.

For this rule (emoluments) to be enforced, you have to have an agency that protects against it.  It's the same reason we have the EPA, FDA, FCC, FAA, CDC, CFPB, FTC, SEC, USDA, FDIC, FHA, OSHA, VA and other protection agencies.  We can't be reactive (lawsuits) to some issues because the concrete imminent injury is difficult to define, measure, monitor and prove causality.  We need a Protection Against Emoluments Agency because the courts are not created to work directly on this rule in a civil court.  It can only work after the damage is done and causality is difficult to demonstrate with no transparency.  With a covert and corrupt President, that's too late.  TOO LATE.
