Trump’s ‘emoluments’ defense argues he can violate the Constitution with impunity. That can’t be right

Erwin Chemerinsky writes for Los Angeles Times, June 26, 2017

Three different lawsuits have been filed against President Trump. … Trump’s position is that the federal courts can hear none of these suits because no one has “standing” to sue him for these constitutional violations. But that can’t be right: It cannot be that the president can violate the Constitution with impunity and no court has the authority to hold him accountable.
