Letter: Lee puts his party before the Constitution

If only Sen. Mike Lee and his communications director, Conn Carroll, would heed Carroll’s snarky advice admonishing George Pyle in his Public Forum letter of Dec. 8, “Recognize the principles of the Constitution.”

Carroll is obviously ignorant of his delicious irony when he writes that it is "difficult to escape our short-term prisms … [on] the principles that organize our republic."

Mr. Carroll, where is the senator's insistence that Article I, Section 9, Paragraph 8 (the Emoluments Clause) be enforced? There are numerous instances of this sitting president and his family benefiting from his decisions as head of state.
