In a recent
Weekend Roundup, we noted the
New York Times op-ed on the Emoluments Clause by
Joshua Blackman and
Seth Barrett Tillman (as well as
John Mikhail’s paper on how dictionaries published between 1523 and 1806 defined "emoluments"). The legal historians
Gautham Rao and
Jed Handelsman Shugerman have now replied to Blackman and Tillman
in Slate.
