Trump's legal appeal to keep his finances hidden could be heard by Merrick Garland

Trump’s legal appeal to keep his finances hidden could be heard by Merrick Garland

https://www.rawstory.com/2019/10/trumps-legal-appeal-to-keep-his-finances-hidden-could-be-heard-by-merrick-garland/

President Donald Trump was dealt a stinging blow when the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled 2-1 he cannot block Congress from subpoenaing his financial records, with the lone dissenter being a judge he appointed.

The president may well appeal that decision, and one way to do that would be to request an “en banc” rehearing where the entire D.C. Circuit reviews the case. But as MSNBC’s Kendis Gibson and former prosecutor Glenn Kirschner discussed on Saturday, one of the judges who would then hear the case is a familiar name: Merrick Garland, the Supreme Court nominee who was denied a hearing by Senate Republicans so Trump could fill it with an extreme-right replacement.

“It could still take some time depending how the appellate court handles this,” said Kirschner.

“A noteworthy name at the top of that court. Isn’t there?” Gibson pressed him. “Merrick Garland.”

Irony gushes out of this article.

If only it were true and Merrick Garland was on the SC. What a shame.

In court open and in plain view to the public before deciding at the end about every section in total with a ruling?

Seems like a clever way to keep the case on hold while releasing what should have been released already, until the damage is already done and past the point of any more fight. Boom!! That ends the delays and stalling.

Kind of like having a Supreme Court nominee being put on hold until after an election, just to remove the pick and cheat the balance of the Supreme Court.
