Sen. Dianne Feinstein: Donald Trump is "blatantly defying" the Constitution's Emoluments Clause

Sen. Dianne Feinstein goes there and calls out Donald Trump today for defying the Constitution, this after news that China may grant Trump 38 more trademarks for his businesses.

She’s calling on Republicans to step up and work with Democrats to hold Trump accountable to the Constitution. Of course, you sure as heck know Republicans will look the other way on this one too. (See Sessions lying under oath)

Republicans are the great enablers of Donald Trump. How much more before they believe the U.S. Constitution is more important then their fealty to Trump?

1. And now for something completely different....

[Mr. Ected]

2. After 8 years of relentless FAKE accusations against President Obama

Republicans pretend that their own President's transgressions are unassailable.

We're used to GOP hypocrisy, but their ignorance of the manifest unambiguity of Trump's mounting violations smacks of corruption and perhaps even blackmail.

3. If they can't get him out on that

then I fear it might genuinely be time to "water the tree of liberty..."

UPDATE: I do NOT advocate violence in any way. My apologies for implying that!

I don't own guns, and am completely against using force against anyone for any reason, other than police subduing a violent offender using the least harmful way possible.

That being said, we still have the High Noon problem, all over the world.

And Jesus wept...

4. Please do not advocate violence on this discussion board, ymetca

Thank you

5. A fine statement you issued there, Sen. Feinstein

Will you be following it up with any media appearances? Will you be making any speeches from the Senate floor about this? Are you willing to bring the business of the Senate to a halt and force them to deal with this? Mitch McConnell stopped a lot of business by saying "No" every time a Democrat requested "unanimous consent" to proceed on a matter he didn't like. Are you going to force a time-consuming procedural floor vote every time the Republicans want to proceed in the absence of unanimous consent?

If not, then I'm afraid your fine statement isn't good enough.

6. Yes, he is

Remember when we were a nation of laws?
