Washington Senate passes bill that would keep Trump off 2020 ballot unless he releases tax returns

Excerpt:

Washington's state Senate passed a bill this week that would drop President Trump from the state's 2020 presidential ballot until he releases his tax returns.

The bill, which advanced Tuesday to the state's House of Representatives, according to CBS News, would require any candidate on the ballot for president in the state to release five years of tax returns before appearing in a general or primary election.

Senators voted by a 28-21 margin to approve the bill, according to CBS. The state's attorney general and solicitor told lawmakers in a letter this week that the proposal likely was constitutional, but analysts expect the law if passed to be challenged in federal court.

What is this fascination with his tax returns? They show very little. I’d have to research this statute’s constitutionality.

I have no idea but it looked like an interesting story to me. I think they are just looking for any excuse they can to stop his reign of madness. I know you don't agree with my analysis but I see him as a mad man. What surprises me is that they go after him for petty things that have no weight, when they could go after him for real stuff. But I think the stuff that they could really get him on, perhaps they are implicated in those things as well. I feel like it is the finger pointing to the moon, saying look over there. Don't pay attention to what is really going on.

If he meet the qualifications they can't do it.

What, reign of madness? LOL...

I think, they're running scared and, grasping at straws.

Jay Inslee is just pissed because the dems are laughing at his run for president.

Sure they can. States have absolute right to regulate their election processes.

Seems like a fairly redundant action.

Violates federal privacy laws.

Guess what takes precedence.

How petty. They can't get him one way, they'll try another....and another....and......
