It is in no conceivable way the same as the emoluments clause cases today. That is like saying a baseball is an orange because both are round. These issues cover very different areas of law.

There is no office holder remaining to have a hearing on. Same principle in both cases.
I’m done debating with “there are none so blind, as those who will not see.

I feel like we’ve reached a level of absurdity where we’re debating whether a home run was “too high”.

Who gives a shoot. It’s gone.

The emolument cases have been being litigated in federal courts, as they follow the normal federal courts process.

Impeachment is not a trial under the judicial branch of our government. It is an entirely legislative process reserved solely to the legislative branch to initiate and prosecute as a check on the other branches.

To butcher a sports metaphor, this is like thinking cricket and baseball have the same rules because they both have batters. (On a side note, I have been watching a lot of late night cricket on my side tv, that sport is just bizarre but somehow strangely intriguing).

Blah, blah blah. No office holder currently. No one legally to try. In either situation. Period.
If you really are this obtuse, I’m going to start questioning the value of a Xavier education. If you went elsewhere, I guess I could understand your problem here.

So, then why do you care? Why the condescension? That’s a lazy attack.

I tend to lean right, but I also tend to lean away from clowns who incite this type of violent activity. That was inexcusable behavior on his part, and reasonable people on both sides know that, regardless of how they vote.

My high school English teacher was British and would take us outside to teach us cricket while discussing whatever we were assigned. Agree, odd game but strangely fun.

Biden approval 63% -
