Keep repeating this to your right wing family members and neighbors. WHAT IS HE HIDING? If he has nothing to hide he'd simply turn them over and be done with it.

in debt up to his orange hair plugs with the russian mob.

Got it ... thank you

been 3-0.

I want to know by whom that vote was cast and why? When I find the ruling I'll post a link.

This also caught my eye. The law is crystal clear and there is precedent. It's crazy that there was a dissenting vote. I fear that we will see a lot more of this from tRump-appointed judges.

This should have been a 3-0 decision. The courts should have deferred to the legislative branch when the legislative branch is performing it's Constitutional duties.

The judge who dissented is a Trump appointee and, just happens to be Kavnauagh's replacement. Which makes it even worse.

Thanks!

He will be missed.



"The late Elijah Cummings, as chairman of the House Oversight Committee, had a valid reason for seeking the president's financial records, the judges said."

or Trump appointees (oops, I repeated myself), the rulings should start cascading down against this mis-administration.
Just as in Watergate, the defenses will fall to the wayside and we'll be on our way to cleaning up America - at last.

El Boofo’s replacement, who cast the dissenting vote here, should be the next to go.

Judicial malfeasance is an impeachable offense.

law enforcement objective? Seems more law enforcement to me, but the House definitely has the right to impeach. Im kinda fuzzy on what would be an invalid objective.

Edit: OK, after reading a bunch of legal interpretations, I think I answered my own question. Basically, the investigative and oversight powers stem from the legislative authority of congress, because it needs the ability to gather information in order to legislate well. And impeachment is just a whole different animal altogether, and obviously doesn't need to be rooted in any principle as it's explicitly granted by the Constitution.

Congress could not see it because this is not like its a court of law rather its an impeachment investigation off a government official and to make a decision on such things they need to be able to examine everything.
Mind you I could see requiring the information to be sealed barring any egregious crime being committed but otherwise they need to be able to see such information.

It looks like the Supreme Court is stacked in Trump's favor. I hope they reject the suit.

likely be a long delay before the case is heard and adjudicated. We'll be well into 2020 before we know the results, if the SCOTUS wants to delay things.

tax returns unless somebody leaks them. Current SCOTUS will protect him.
