On Tuesday, the Supreme Court is hearing arguments that include an effort to release Trump’s tax returns. The President’s argument rests on whether the Court decides the requests from the Democrat House are political and not intended for legitimate oversight. This is a very important ruling for the presidency, not just the president.
A few weeks ago, the justices asked both sides to weigh in on whether the dispute between Trump and House Democrats is fundamentally political and, therefore, beyond the reach of the courts.
A ruling that the courts are powerless to resolve this fight could translate into a loss for Trump since he wouldn’t have any power to stop his accounting firm or banks from handing over his records.
It’s not clear what will happen if the Supreme Court steps aside. Losing the courts as a referee in fights over subpoenas could also be a longer-term victory for the presidency, as Congress could lose its ability to make high-level executive branch officials actually comply with their subpoenas for documents or testimony, according to ‘Five Thirty Eight.’
JUSTICE SOTOMAYOR, RELIABLY LEFT
The Wall Street Journal reports, “Mr. Trump has broken political norms by refusing to release his returns, but the Court will have to consider whether letting Democrats subpoena them will do more lasting damage to the country’s law and institutions.”
Justice Sotomayor Sotomayor asked today if there’s any other case where similar private records were blocked.
She suggested with her questions so far that the burden here isn’t as onerous as other subpoenas the court has upheld. Since these papers don’t belong to the president, but to the financial institutions.
Wall said he believes that makes the argument for that access even worse.
THE LEFT IS THRILLED WITH FAR-FAR-LEFT SOTOMAYOR’S QUESTIONS
Justice Sonya Sotomayor, an Obama appointee, formerly sat on the Second Circuit appeals court in New York for more than a decade. That’s the same court that decided against the president in the Deutsche Bank and Vance cases.
Sotomayor notes there is a “long history” of allowing House subpoenas as long as there is a “conceivable legislative purpose.”
She is very, very far-left and will always decide on the most anti-right, far-left decision. Jonathan Turley has also said she is not smart enough to be on the Court. Her decisions are personalized diatribes which seem to support that contention by the George Washington law professor.
Given this, the left is watching her questions.
Justice Sotomayor once again nailing the key issue: Congress needs to be able to investigate before it can decide what kind of legislation might be appropriate. You’re asking the Court to short-circuit that. #TrumpTaxReturns

Justice Sotomayor for the W.

Since her first day on the bench, Justice Sotomayor has shown why she’s one of our top legal minds. Nobody should be surprised she’s exposing Trump’s hidden finances defense as totally meritless. https://t.co/U2YC8wtPLd

If Trump has to release his tax returns, then we should see more of that and we can start with the other politicians like Fauci, Robert Redfield, Obama, Clinton and Clinton Foundation, the heads of the FBI, CIA and everybody that had any connection with George Soros and his Quantum Fund through which billions got laundered instead of being used for the society, as they try to leave you the impression that they’re so charitable.
People should see that THE ONLY THING THEY CARE ABOUT is to undermine the president who is wise to see that there’s an agenda of these mentally sick evil people, which are hand in hand with China. The agenda includes everything from Big Pharma, Big Agro, Big Finance an so on with one goal in mind – MONEY AND CONTROL
Food becames poison, grass fields be it golf course or others are poisoned oasis with pesticides and herbicides that destroy the life of people, schools are unaffordable instead of being free, health care is undermined and actually no curativ approach is being implemented and so on, all thanks to the previous corrupted administrations that were not held accountable. More than that, those evil people are desperate to get a grab of the political power. The Americans should see what is happening and which media tells the truth.
Corrupted media: CNN, CBS, NBC, NY Times, Washinton Post, MSM and others.
The health care took a turn for the worse since 1910 with the Flexner’s Report. News for some?
It’s an old agenda that had behind the Carnegie Fundation support for Flexner’s Report.
How hard it is for you people to read 5 minutes and see where the devil’s base is?
It is very obvious that these Democrats are EVIL.
Doesn’t anyone remember how Obama successfully blocked efforts to have his college transcripts released for the entire 8 years of his presidency. President Trump was attacked for even suggesting that Obama should release his transcripts. Another example of the left-wing liberal double standard.
The wise Latina said, “Since these papers don’t belong to the president, but to the financial institutions.” Your tax papers aren’t yours but rather belong to somebody you hired? I guess I understand her thinking since she’s probably one who believes children belong to the government instead of their parents.
