TY for the follow-up!
U.S. District Judge Joe Heaton dismissed the suit, which was filed in Oklahoma, saying in his order that the court lacked jurisdiction over the case because both Page and the DNC do not have strong enough ties to the state as the DNC has only a state affiliate.
"This court lacks personal jurisdiction over defendants," Heaton wrote in the order. "Defendants motion to dismiss is therefore granted and this case is dismissed."
Page told USA TODAY he intends to appeal the decision in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 10th Circuit.
the 2 muzzies in congress want their own trip to the Israel - not the one planned by the AIPAC:
Tlaib intended her trip as an alternative to an AIPAC-organized trip for freshmen members of Congress to see Israel. To organize her opposition trip, Tlaib would need to get approval from the House speaker or the leader of a committee on which they sit. Engel and Tlaib do not sit on the same committees.
"I want us to see that segregation [between Israelis and Palestinians] and how that has really harmed us being able to achieve real peace in that region," Tlaib told the Intercept before she took office. "I don’t think AIPAC provides a real, fair lens into this issue."
Tliab is the first Palestinian-American woman and one of the first two Muslim women elected to Congress. She supports the Boycott Divestment and Sanctions movement, which advocates for the boycott of Israeli organizations and companies to support Palestinian interests. Rep. Ilhan Omar (D., Minn.) is the only other member of Congress to support BDS, but she has not spoken on a trip to the West Bank.

Good that some Dems have condemned the disgraceful anti-Semitic remarks of Rep. Omar—but their words are empty unless Dem leaders remove her from the Foreign Affairs Committee. No one with her anti-Semitic views should be allowed to represent US foreign policy on that committee.
