James Schlarmann Commentary
Well…that didn’t take long.
I’m not sure how long it took conservative publications to call for Obama’s impeachment, but I’m pretty sure that Sub-President Donald Trump just broke some kind of record having a major publication call his impeachment.
Yes, you read that right, today, a major publication called on Congress to impeach Trump. Granted, it’s in an op-ed and it’s not like it’s going to convince Republican congressmen to wake the fuck up or suddenly start caring that they’ve let a conman in to the Oval Office, but it’s still very cool seeing Time publish the piece, written by James C. Nelson and John Bonifaz, both of whom are legal scholars with careers working in government and the courts, calling for Trump’s impeachment.
It means there are people paying attention. Just how many is not certain right now, of course, but they’re out there. That’s a good first step.
In the piece, Nelson and Bonifaz argue that Sub-President Trump has been in direct violation of the emoluments clause in our Constitution since he took the oath of office.
That clause is meant to do something that I know most of us just simply must not care about…keeping the president from taking foreign bribes. I mean, why on Earth would we give a shit if the guy we elected to run our country is really doing the bidding of a totally different country?
