grue@lemmy.world 20 hours agoIsn’t it illegal for him to do this?
According to the Emoluments Clause, yes.
According to the corrupt, traitorous SCOTUS, no.

That scotus problem is massive. We can disband agencies, remove people from positions, and prosecute criminal behavior to get to be running on a more legal standing and given enough time we could be a decently run democracy again, but the disengenous scotus rulings are going to take some crazy large actions.

I’m really hoping the next president has the guts to arrest the con scotus justices. They basically declared the president has king powers, and they need to be forced by a king to rescind that ruling.

that would just doom the rule of law. being impeached is within the system. running by the illegal manner they put forth just gets us deeper.

But they very explicitly made it legal. Anything the president does is legal if it serves the country, and it serves the cou try to arrest corrupt judges. They can and should change the law back after that.
