it wont be resolved, it will be ignored.
the constitution is quite explicit
[Make everything up as you go -]
Yes, and his idiot supporters will probably let it all go because they ‘love him’..
Yes, that is discussed above, but what I found interesting is the argument that the decrease does not change the fact that the increase happened within the prescribed time. A strict interpretation of the Constitution would prohibit the appointment, it would seem. It won't, of course.

I’m thinking many Americans may be taking a much more “liberal” attitude towards considering federal income tax laws and regulations to be unimportant and merely and inconvenient silly nuisance
mr. creepy-elect seems to have that mindset as regards his self-admitted criminal felony purchasing and use of cocaine to relieve his many stresses which were caused by confusion over who and what he is and where he came from
No, the first test is if the Liberal Messiah proves He is a "natural born Citizen".
The big Zero is inelligible to be President, and Hillary cannot be Secretary of State.
According to what Constitution? Not according to Hussein’s and Hillary’s constitution.
They said it couldn’t happen in this country. And here we are with a foreign born Prseident of the USA.
No, the "fundamental flaw" is Article II, Section 1, Clause 5.
RE ‘It is sad to see President-elect Obama, a former lecturer on Constitutional Law, show such a lack of respect for the Constitution.’
LOL. wait till he picks judges. I didnt see any serious lectures from him on constitution. can you find any on youtube.
That rumor is completely false. The sign says "We Are The Rules!".
We have a guy that bought this office, he was born in Kenya and he paid Acorn to turn this election into a joke. He should be in prison for fraud and corruption (what happened to RICO). He is nothing more that a Chicago street thug a corrupt, lying Marxist.
He is not my president. I am part of the 49% that voted against this incompetent idiot. Every time this leftist idiot make a gaff, I intent to appaude his failure. Every time he make a decision, I intend to point out his “failed policy” move.
He should be treated just like the liberal left wing socialists have treated GWB for the past 8 years. He does not have a mandate and he should be reminded of this every day he holds this office. 49% of this country voted against him. He is a fraud and id not qualified of this office.
I really want this fool to spend 4 years as our president and then leave as a total failure. I want him to finish his miserable term with his head hanging down as a complete total failure. He will finish this term failing more that Jimmy Carter. Semper fi
This is a dumb argument, if we’re just talking about a 90’s era COLA increase plan that started... That’s a silly issue to argue under the “emoluments” clause.
We need to do better than this if we hope to be effective as the opposition party.
Not to worry.
Just remember, on 1/20/09, the only thing we have is another black couple moving into a government house.
Semper Fi
Discussing whether the Constitution is being violated, or about to be violated, is NEVER dumb.
I think the argument that an Emolument increase that is rescinded is still an historical Emolument increase, is a pretty weak argument.
Were any of the previous Saxbe fixes challenged in court?
We’re spitting continually on the Constitution. Very sad indeed.
I just love it when people use the term “fiat currency”. You realize of course that Gold is the *ultimate* fiat money, right?
If you want money with a real intrinsic value then trade in wheat. Or gunpowder.
Always a bright spot. There are two downsides.
Yeah... OK. About that...
Sure, violations of the Constitution are never dumb to discuss. But often discussions are dumb on any number of topics including the Constitution.
Subtle difference, that.
