The Supreme Court on Friday granted President Trump's emergency request to temporarily block a congressional subpoena for his financial records from Deutsche Bank.
The court's order came just hours after the president's legal team asked for a temporary stay of an appellate court decision ordering Deutsche Bank to comply with subpoenas from the House Financial Services and Intelligence Committees for a broad range of documents concerning Trump's finances and his businesses.
Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, who oversees the Second Circuit Court of Appeals, issued an administrative stay of that court's decision that will be in effect until Dec. 13 while the court deliberates on whether to grant a longer stay and to give Trump's lawyers time to prepare a formal appeal.
The committees are investigating Trump's relationship with Deutsche Bank, which had given him $2 billion in loans and is reportedly being investigated for its role in money-laundering scheme involving Russia.

Maybe RBG realizes there will be possible future requests for future past Presidents’ bank records and does not want to allow a precedent to be set.
I bet everyone would like to see obama’s bank records too...

Her Staff is not totally partisan?

That's racist! /s
“Maybe Ruth is trying to get right with God while there’s still time. “

My beloved believes RBG realizes she doesn’t want to be the one to officially break the Constitution.
What they say is Constitutionally okay this week cannot be undone next week.
So it’s all about pride. She probably didn’t see it coming to such a head so quickly....
GREAT graphic and AMEN!
I hope your beloved is correct.
