It's not whether I want her to serve or not. . .

. . .it's whether she may serve or not.  Read The Wall Street Journal Law blog and learn a new word:  "emoluments."



Now, can we stretch that concept to one of my favorite John Stuart Mill opinions?

    What if?

    President Elect Obama (a constitutional scholar) nominated her knowing full well she was not eligible under the Emoluments Clause of Article I, Sec. 6?

    There are only three(3)possible answers:

    1. If he did not know then he is not the "scholar" he claims to be.
    2. If he did know and doesn't care--then we see clearly his regard for the constitution.
    3. If he knew and takes her out or loses the fight, he can say he tried.

    My answer: number 2
