BREAKING: SCOTUS Has Made a Decision on President Trump's Tax Returns

[Private Pickle]

OK. So?

So release them...

[Collateral Damage]

Everyone keeps thinking that this subpoena has no merit. The courts have disagreed...

Not quite - what the courts have said is that the being the President does not give him immunity to the subpoena, and kicked it back down to the original courts.

Who issues a subpoena?

[Private Pickle]

After a law is passed, requiring it to be so. Until then....No!

Remember that next President...

Remember that next President...

No Problem.....Never did see Repubs or those on the Right asking to see Demo Candidate's tax returns.

Democrats smacked down. They need to keep presenting both sides of their cheeks.



Supreme Court declines to fast-track House Democratic pursuit of Trump tax returns



The Supreme Court refused to fast-track the House subpoena effort in pursuit of President Trump’s financial records and tax returns, denying requests from Democrat-led committees asking the high court to send the cases to the lower courts faster than usual.



“The applications for orders to issue the judgments forthwith, presented to The Chief Justice and by him referred to the Court, are denied,” the short order from the Supreme Court said on Monday, adding only that “Justice Sotomayor would grant the applications.”


It usually takes the Supreme Court 25 days to send cases down to the appeals court for further litigation, but Democrats asked the justices to move that time frame up by two weeks. On July 7, the Supreme Court ruled largely in Trump’s favor that the lower courts did not properly consider the separation of powers between Congress and the presidency when ruling in favor of the Democrats, who will not get to continue their fight in court until Aug. 3.


The Supreme Court continued: “These separation of powers concerns are unmistakably implicated by the subpoenas here, which represent not a run-of-the-mill legislative effort but rather a clash between rival branches of government over records of intense political interest for all involved. The interbranch conflict does not vanish simply because the subpoenas seek personal papers or because the President sued in his personal capacity.” …..snip~
