The emolument clause was thrown out last time. They are going to override the 14th Amendment.
What else will soon be gone under TSF.

(2,339 posts)When that case law is ignored; when settled, accepted precedent is discarded by a Supreme Court dominated by partisan conservative ideologues, the Constitution no longer exists.

(55,184 posts)There are plenty of people out there fighting. We all feel bad that Trump is President, and you may choose to surrender to whatever he wants, but many are not. Deciding the constitution is already lost is to capitulate in advance. You have chosen to make Trump's job easy. Whatever your reasons are for capitulating to Trump, you don't need to impose them on everyone else.

(34,065 posts)I'm with you. The money class has the Felon's back, and the press is pushing the Leaders propaganda. The Felon is probably going to release the violent black shirts from prison serving time for trying to overthrow the government on January 6.
None of these bode well for the experiment.
