En banc review. YESSSSSS!
(Courts tend not to grant petitions for en banc review, and those that they do grant are not granted lightly. My prediction is that the full appeals court has, at least in principle, a majority prepared to overturn the three judge panel and return this to the district court. Discovery is going to be an absolute hoot.)

Profiting from office for Jarvanka (loans, trademarks etc) and DJT profiting from office by not setting up a blind trust for Trump businesses instead placed sons in charge - wink wink to all the booked rooms at Trump Properties but no one is staying…probably Bribery too!

Not looking good for the Trumpsters in the en banc rehearing. Just having it granted means the full court has some serious questions about the panel opinion.

Here is the Seth Barrett Tillman, the lone for-Trump amicus listed above, looking totally sane.
His services seem to be in such demand in America that he now teaches in Ireland.
Other legal scholars regard him as less than careful.
In June, Mr. Tillman filed saying that some framers of the Constitution did not think the emoluments clause applied to the president. One of his key pieces of evidence was a document signed by Alexander Hamilton.
The reaction was swift and brutal. Legal historians and a lawyer for members of Congress suing Mr. Trump said Mr. Tillman had misunderstood, misrepresented or suppressed crucial contrary evidence in a second document.
In another blog post, Brianne J. Gorod, a lawyer with the Constitutional Accountability Center, which represents lawmakers suing Mr. Trump, said Mr. Tillman’s account was “not accurate, not even remotely so.”

Works for a two-bit thug burying bodies while he’s not eating paste.
Two bit-thug mentioned above.
NSFW.
Daddy’s little two-bit whore.

Given the general lousiness of Trump’s “legal team,” this en banc hearing could really screw the Grifter-In-Chief.

I do not want to be the guy that doesn’t think this week and asks Trump “How’s it going?”

Just like Scalia did for Bush, Roberts did for McDonnell, the Rapist and Boofer is going to step in for the Preshitident Skanky-Putin Whore.
Richmond: My state.

I fully expect a good and proper decision for America.

the original three judge panel consisted of one (current) Trump judge
One (current) Pappy Bush judge
Once (senior) Junior Bush judge.
Of the 15 currently serving (non-senior) judges on the 4th circuit, six were appointed by Obama, and three by Clinton (three by Trump, 1 each by Reagan, Pappy Bush, & Jr Bush)

Reporter to Trump: “Well, we all know it’s not hangin’, so I won’t ask that – so, is it even making an appearance anymore, Mr. PP?”
