Woman reportedly performs sex act on gas station robber until cops arrive

A woman performed oral sex on a gas station robber in Slovakia — distracting and delaying him until police arrived, according to a report.

The 24-year-old thief allegedly forced a male employee to hand over money from the cash register at the station in Bratislava early Wednesday, the Sun reported.

It was unclear if she decided to perform the sex act out of fear of being assaulted herself, but a police source told local news agency TASR that the woman appeared willing to help stall the burglar, the Sun reported.

“Take him, I can’t anymore,” the woman reportedly told the cops.

Supreme Court dismisses emolument cases against Trump

Source: CNN newsource

The Supreme Court declined on Monday to hear a case concerning whether former President Donald Trump violated provisions of the Constitution that bar a president from profiting from a foreign government.

The court instructed the lower courts to wipe away a previous lower court opinion that went against Trump because he is no longer in office. It leaves unresolved a novel question raised in the case because Trump, unlike other presidents, did not use a blind trust when he assumed the presidency, but instead continued to retain an interest in his businesses and let those businesses to take money from foreign and domestic governments.

At the center of the case was the Constitution’s Emoluments Clause, which has faced few judicial interpretations since it was written almost 250 years ago. The clause states that “no person holding any office … shall, without the consent of Congress” accept gifts or other benefits from foreign states.

“The Supreme Court’s procedural order not only wipes away two lower court rulings, but it also orders dismissal of the entire dispute — leaving for some other time resolution of the many questions Trump’s conduct raised about the Emoluments Clause,” said Steve Vladeck, a CNN Supreme Court analyst and professor at the University of Texas School of Law.

“Ordinarily, the Court pursues such a step only when the prevailing party moots a case while the appeal is pending — as opposed to here, where the disputes became moot because Trump’s term ended,” he added. “Today’s orders suggest that the court is increasingly willing to invoke this doctrine to avoid highly charged political disputes, even if the mootness wasn’t caused by the parties that won below.”

So you can't charge him when he was in office and now that he is out of office you still can't charge him?
Joe needs to add more people to the court.
