Trump’s Lawyer – “No, I am not voting” for Trump – “I’m a registered Democrat”

Donald Trump was once a Democrat. He now claims to be a staunch conservative Republican and get this, many in the Republican party believe Trump – a man who will say anything and adopt any position if it means an extra vote. He reminds me of Ted Cruz!

Trump, the former Democrat apparently surrounded himself with other Democrats. His special council admitted earlier that he is a Democrat and would not be voting for Trump in the primaries.

“No, I am not voting in the primary; I’m a registered Democrat,” Michael Cohen said on CNN’s “At This Hour,” adding that his inability to vote for Trump was limited to “the primaries.”

But Cohen is just a small piece of the Democratic puzzle surrounding Donald Trump. Two of Trump’s children — Ivanka, 34, and Eric, 32 — acknowledged this week that they didn’t register as Republicans in time to vote in Tuesday’s closed primary in New York, despite months of campaigning for their father.

John Boehner’s Lawyer Argues Against Suing The President

The lawyer representing John Boehner in his lawsuit against President Obama, wrote a piece in The Daily Caller back in February. The lawyer, whose name is Elizabeth Price Foley, argued quite convincingly that suing a president was a losing battle.

Elizabeth Price Foley, a Florida International University law professor, will argue for the draft resolution allowing Boehner to sue President Obama for failing to enforce Obamacare’s employer mandate during a hearing on Wednesday. But as The New York Times’ Jonathan Weisman pointed out, Foley already argued convincingly for The Daily Caller that the lawsuit has no legal standing. In other words, you have to prove that the person you’re suing personally injured you — Congress can’t prove that.

As Foley wrote for The Daily Caller back in February:

When a president delays or exempts people from a law — so-called benevolent suspensions — who has standing to sue him? Generally, no one. … That’s why, when President Obama delayed various provisions of Obamacare — the employer mandate, the annual out-of-pocket caps, the prohibition on the sale of “substandard” policies — his actions cannot be challenged in court.

The Supreme Court has also restricted the ability of Congress to sue, she argued, “creating a presumption against allowing members of Congress to sue the president merely because he fails to faithfully execute its laws.”
