minus-squareOlinOfTheHillPeople@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up12·1 year agoThanks! I somehow missed that one. Since the cases were vacated, future emoluments suits can still be filed, right?
minus-squarequindraco@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up7·edit-21 year agoYes, but they’ll also be moot. The only saving grace here is that the way SCOTUS mooted these suits by definition can’t set precedent, so once the current justices die in office there’ll be hope again.
