Please ask your Dem Senators to support Sen. Richard Blumenthal's emoluments lawsuit!

Financially and otherwise. Even if it doesn't ultimately prevail in the courts (at the SCOTUS level), it might be a way to get at DT's tax returns.

Senate Democrats are exploring a lawsuit against President Trump on the grounds that his vast business empire has created conflicts of interest that violate the Constitution.

The effort is being led by Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.), who has had preliminary discussions with several senators about the idea.

Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.), the ranking member of the Judiciary Committee, said her committee colleague Blumenthal “is leading an effort, asking each one of us to contribute an amount of money for a court case.”

“We’re looking at that," Feinstein told constituents at a recent town hall event. "The hope is that there will be 41 of us that will be on that court case."
