The Supreme Court on Wednesday rejected former President Trump’s bid to block a trove of his administration’s records from being handed to the Jan. 6 House committee.
The ruling came in an unsigned, one-paragraph order. Justice Clarence Thomas, a staunch conservative, was alone in indicating that he would have granted Trump’s request. It was an 8-1 vote.
What happened to presidential privilege and why is a congressional committee allowed to intrude on the Executive Branch?
There aren’t enough on the SCROTUS to get on the right side of history, be pleasantly surprised by anything good that comes from there but don’t expect it.
