Raskin: ‘Flying Grift’ Can Be Used as ‘Teaching Seminar’ About How ‘Unconstitutional’ this Arrangement Is

EXCERPT:

RASKIN: "But just because you’re robbing a bank in broad daylight doesn’t mean you’re not robbing a bank. And he’s clearly robbing a bank. Look, we’ve got to use this as the teaching seminar for all of America about how utterly unconstitutional this arrangement is. And for some reason now, this flying grift or Con Air Force One, as some people are calling it, has caught the public eye and the public imagination. And it’s really broken through. People understand that the president of the United States, without the consent of Congress, cannot be collecting hundreds of millions of dollars in gifts from foreign states or governments. The Framers drew a very bright line on that. The exception is if you go to Congress and you ask for Congress’ consent to do it.”
