Whether or not one concludes that Trump's business dealings violate the letter or the spirit of the Emoluments Clause, the underlying controversy is almost certainly non-justiciable.
So even he can't rule out the possibility that Trump could well violate the Emoluments clause. The remedy wouldn't go to the courts, but to Congress for impeachment. You try to put me in a small liberal box, so let me clarify that the Republican Congress seems unlikely to impeach him unless the rest of his presidency his horrifying. But the situation is still ammo against him in 2020 unless he puts his assets into a blind trust or liquidates, even if he finds some legal loophole.
I argued before the election that Trump would be a better choice than Hillary simply because he can be impeached if he steps out of line, while Hillary thinks she is above the law and has been repeatedly proven right
Now this is just jackassary. Jackassly partisan enough to throw everything else he says into doubt. Maybe Hillary is a crook. Think Trump isn't? I mean seriously. Besides, with a Republican congress, it would be easier to impeach her than him if she thinks she's above the law or not. If I hallucinate that I'm above the law and rob the Seven-7, I'd still go to jail with my delusion as company. Do yourself a favor and get off the right-wing blog and get other opinions. If you're gonna post articles like this, I might as well post from Daily Kos or Move On to get the same level of bias and idiocy.
