Supreme Court Ruling in Bill Clinton Sexual Misconduct Case Could Spell Trouble for Trump
A 1997 Supreme Court decision that ultimately doomed the presidency of Bill Clinton could come back to haunt Donald Trump.
In Clinton v. Jones, the high court ruled for the first time that a sitting president may be sued for actions taken before he or she took office. The court specified that these actions do not have to relate to the office of the presidency.

Trump’s Cons utional Problems Are Just Beginning
“When he said he was going to run the government like his own businesses, he meant it. And that means lining his own pockets at the expense of everyone else," said Vermont Law School professor Jennifer Taub in an interview with Rewire.
The U.S. Supreme Court has never considered the full scope of the Emoluments clause of the Cons ution, the provision that forbids bribes and gifts to elected officials. Nor has it fully considered the “compensation clause,” which directs how the president and members of Congress are to get paid. But despite the fact that President Donald Trump has purportedly handed over control of his sprawling and sometimes obscured business dealings to his sons, unless he sells them off, the Court may have no choice but to take a new, hard look at the two anti-corruption clauses in the Cons ution—assuming a case challenging Trump on corruption can get there to begin with.
The Emoluments Clause—found in Article 1, Section 9, Clause 8—is commonly referred to as the “foreign gifts” clause.
That provision says “No le of nobility shall be granted by the United States: and no person holding any office of profit or trust under them, shall, without the consent of the Congress, accept of any present, emolument, office, or le, of any kind whatever, from any king, prince, or foreign state.” Emoluments are fees, salaries, or any profit a person earns from either their jobs—including private sector employment and elected positions—or governmental appointments.
“The foreign gifts clause goes beyond forbidding bribes, to forbidding an exchange of any kind of gift whatsoever,” Vermont Law School professor Jennifer Taub explained in an interview with Rewire. “And that’s to prevent even the appearance of favoritism or a quid-pro-quo.”
In other words, the foreign gifts clause prohibits bribes to U.S. elected officials or governmental appointments from foreign leaders or governments, as well as anything that looks like a bribe.

goddam, you're stupid
Just think: we've got eight years' worth of daily meltdowns like this from Bou s to look forward to. , then eight more when Ivanka breaks the glass ceiling and becomes the first female POTUS.
Holy the butthurt
Clinton was already impeached!!
boutons_deux is it possible to ramp up the butthurt a few notches or are you already pinned?
Only in America could someone like Trump be president - still can't believe it - did you see him mouthing "My Way" - he is such a clown :-)
The official butthurt thread.
Clinton was doomed?
No, they have a Trump in the Phillipines too.
He remains the only duly elected POTUS to ever be impeached.
Shouldn't it be "The Boothurt Thread" ?
As far as I know only one demanded his intern to give him oral sex
Trump is getting payments from foreign governments. We have no idea what they are.
I've studied the emoluments clause for years. Now I'm part of a lawsuit alleging that President Trump is violating it.
In the middle of the 17th century, King Charles II of England took a secret pension from the French King Louis XIV. He agreed to a closer relationship, including a treaty that wasn’t clearly in England’s best interest. The precise content of the secret agreement wasn’t revealed for more than 100 years.
Today, 350 years later, the president of the United States is receiving payments from foreign countries. The money comes to President Trump by way of his companies, although the details and scope of his profits are secret; he refused to disclose his tax returns. After the election, Trump had several months to move toward liquidation and putting his assets in a truly blind trust. He has chosen, instead, to keep his ownership interests in his businesses, turning over operating decisions to his children but remaining an owner. His decision threatens the integrity of American democracy and national security, and it should ring alarm bells for all citizens, regardless of political party.
Trump’s choice violates one of the most overlooked but important sections of the U.S. Cons ution, the foreign emoluments clause, which was framed to avoid problems of split loyalty such as that posed by Charles II.
As a law professor, I began exploring the clause in 2009 while examining the framers’ near-obsession with protecting against corruption.
The clause represented a deliberate break from European traditions, where financial relationships between a countries’ representatives and other governments were common. And it epitomized “the particularly demanding notion of corruption” held by our framers.
I never expected the clause to be litigated:
Presidents and federal officials have gone out of their way to avoid violating it. Until now.
But Trump’s blatant violation of the clause is a violation of our fundamental do ent and our fundamental principles.

The Repugs will impeach and convict Trash sooner or later.
It will be fascinating to see how you gun fellators, militiamen, KKK, racists, bigots, xenophobes, "white working class" react when Trash goes down.

I like how boots doesn't give a of what you s think.
Maybe Trump isn’t ‘lying’
Schumer calls that a political problem. He gently offered, “In general you cannot run a country unless you know the facts. If you’re going to believe your own facts, whether it’s about what Putin is doing in the world or what jobs or companies are doing here, you aren’t going to be able to govern, so I worry about it.” The shorter version: If he cannot accept reality, he is not fit to carry out the duties of the president.
We are not calling — yet — for invocation of Section 4 of the 25th Amendment.
We are calling for someone, perhaps his children, to see if they can prevail upon him to stop behaving in this way, for if not, legitimate worries will mount about whether he is able to carry out his duties.
We also are saying that Republicans need to be pressed to state their view:
Is he lying or is he unable to separate what he wants to believe and what exists, literally, in front of his eyes?
The first makes him morally unfit, and was the basis upon which many #NeverTrumpers refused to vote for him. If the latter, they — and we all — have a cons utional crisis the likes of which we have never seen. With Trump, however, we have learned the past provides no guarantees.

Trash won't make it to 2020
More "data" on Trash's mental illness is that he's swearing he will provide more coverage and cheaper than ACA.
It's simply not possible.
He's deluded and/or lying.
