It means that the lawsuits against Trump for profiting off of being the Presidency will move forward. Making money off of the being the President is unconstitutional.

The judge wrote in his ruling:

"In his ruling, Sullivan found that Trump had disregarded “the ordinary meaning” of the term “emolument” as intended in the Constitution by claiming that it should apply only to profits he earns directly through his own work.

“The only way the Clause can achieve its purpose is for the President to seek and obtain the consent of Congress before he accepts foreign Emoluments,” the judge wrote, noting that the lawmakers are alleging ”that they have been deprived of the right to vote to consent to the President’s receipt of foreign Emoluments before he accepts them.”

“Plaintiffs’ injury is therefore hardly 'marginally related' to the purpose of the Clause, but is directly related to the only way the Clause can achieve its purpose,” Sullivan’s ruling reads.

I means the SCOTUS will decide if Trump turning over his business to his family, giving any and all profits to America after having no part in running it is sufficient to satisfy constitution.

Indictments are imminent.

Well, not exactly. Trump "turning his business over to his family" is actually Trump still running his business. A business that makes a lot of money off of foreign countries. Think Clinton Foundation doing the same thing. That should put it in perspective.

You're right, Supreme court will eventually here it as it is, by definition, a 'co-equal' branches of government question.

Panic has set in. Indictments imminent. ;)

That reminds me of the Rep. outrage when Clinton used the Lincoln bedroom for people who donated to his campaign. Oh the humanity!
