re: #231 lawhawk

The states/localities had a tougher case than Congress having standing, but I can envision the courts also claiming that this is a political question and they shouldn’t interfere.

Fuck that - this is a criminal question. Emoluments is a criminal act. Impeachment isn’t the sole remedy, but the courts are looking like they want to read it that way.

This is frightening. It looks like the DOJ decision that one cannot indict a sitting president combined with these court rulings means that if the President’s party is in charge of the Senate, a President is totally immune from prosecution and is free to violate the Constitution without any meaningful oversight.
