And if they don’t, what will they do? Impeach the Justices for Obstruction of Congress?
The Supreme Court should Dismiss the case and ORDER the Public Release of Tax Returns ALL Elected Officials NATIONWIDE!!!
Stuff it, Nancy.
Getting his tax records won’t do them any good because they would be in Russian anyway.
If the financial records of presidential candidates are vital to the nation’s security there needs to be a system in place to insure the absolute secrecy of those records and their investigation.
” saying that the information was needed to protect the 2020 election from foreign interference”
Aren’t these the people currently imprisoning people for perjury?
Opening the door for anyone to get the Financial Records of all Congress Critters
Thought the SC, via RBG, put a temp hold on this sh*t already?
Fishing expedition. Absent of evidence of criminal intent is their precedence in case law for “We think X will happen so we must have Y to prove our prediction”?
The IRS has access to President Trump’s tax filings.
Don’t you think if there was anything there it would have been leaked already?
Thomas Jefferson’s ideas concerning judicial tyranny.
“A judiciary independent of a king or executive alone is a good thing; but independence of the will of the nation is a solecism, at least in a republican government.”
Thomas Jefferson, letter to Thomas Ritchie, December 25, 1820
“Nothing in the Constitution has given them [the federal judges] a right to decide for the Executive, more than to the Executive to decide for them. . . . The opinion which gives to the judges the right to decide what laws are constitutional and what not, not only for themselves, in their own sphere of action, but for the Legislature and Executive also in their spheres, would make the Judiciary a despotic branch.”
(Letter to Abigail Adams, September 11, 1804)
“The original error [was in] establishing a judiciary independent of the nation, and which, from the citadel of the law, can turn its guns on those they were meant to defend, and control and fashion their proceedings to its own will.”
(Letter to John Wayles Eppes, 1807)
“Our Constitution . . . intending to establish three departments, co-ordinate and independent that they might check and balance one another, it has given—according to this opinion to one of them alone the right to prescribe rules for the government of others; and to that one, too, which is unelected by and independent of the nation. . . . The Constitution, on this hypothesis, is a mere thing of wax in the hands of the judiciary, which they may twist and shape into any form they please.” (Letter to Judge Spencer Roane, Sept. 6, 1819)
“You seem . . . to consider the judges as the ultimate arbiters of all constitutional questions; a very dangerous doctrine indeed, and one which would place us under the despotism of an oligarchy. Our judges are as honest as other men, and not more so . . . and their power [is] the more dangerous, as they are in office for life and not responsible, as the other functionaries are, to the elective control. The Constitution has erected no such single tribunal, knowing that to whatever hands confided, with corruptions of time and party, its members would become despots.”
(Letter to William Jarvis, Sept. 28, 1820)
“The judiciary of the United States is the subtle corps of sappers and miners constantly working under ground to undermine the foundations of our confederated fabric. They are construing our constitution from a co-ordination of a general and special government to a general and supreme one alone. This will lay all things at their feet, and they are too well versed in English law to forget the maxim, ‘boni judicis est ampliare jurisdictionem’ [good judges have ample jurisdiction]. . . . A judiciary independent of a king or executive alone is a good thing; but independence of the will of the nation is a solecism, at least in a republican government.”
(Letter to Thomas Ritchie, Dec. 25, 1820)
“The germ of dissolution of our federal government is in the constitution of the federal Judiciary; an irresponsible body (for impeachment is scarcely a scare-crow) working like gravity by night and by day, gaining a little today and a little tomorrow, and advancing its noiseless step like a thief, over the field of jurisdiction, until all shall be usurped.”
(Letter to Charles Hammond, August 18, 1821)
“The great object of my fear is the Federal Judiciary. That body, like gravity, ever acting with noiseless foot and unalarming advance, gaining ground step by step and holding what it gains, is engulfing insidiously the special governments into the jaws of that which feeds them.”
(Letter to Judge Spencer Roane, 1821)
“At the establishment of our constitutions, the judiciary bodies were supposed to be the most helpless and harmless members of the government. Experience, however, soon showed in what way they were to become the most dangerous; that the insufficiency of the means provided for their removal gave them a freehold and irresponsibility in office; that their decisions, seeming to concern individual suitors only, pass silent and unheeded by the public at large; that these decisions, nevertheless, become law by precedent, sapping, by little and little, the foundations of the constitution, and working its change by construction, before any one has perceived that that invisible and helpless worm has been busily employed in consuming its substance. In truth, man is not made to be trusted for life if secured against all liability to account.”
(Letter to A. Coray, October 31, 1823)
“One single object… [will merit] the endless gratitude of the society: that of restraining the judges from usurping legislation.” (Letter to Edward Livingston, March 25, 1825)
PRESIDENT TRUMP: “You held a press conference and announced to the world that you plan to impeach me for ‘obstruction of Congress.’ Why the hell would I turn anything over to you at this point?”
They’re in deeper all the time. I was reminded of an old saying today, If you’re going to kill the King you better do it the first shot. Well they’ve taken a whole bunch of shots and missed every time and all this does is make Trump more determined to get even.
We want to see yours!
Honestly, I think they already have the returns. I just don’t believe that the deep state doesn’t have people in the IRS or the NY State gov. Remember a couple years ago they found a couple of pages of an old tax record and it blew up in their face. they found out that Trump paid more in taxes than he should have. Maddow took a bath on the ratings. I think they already have his taxes but nothing is there so they’re using this to make him look like he’s hiding RUSSIAN money connections. And they know they can’t show the taxes unless they reveal their source and go to jail so this is kind of like a win win for them.
How is this NOT a Bill of Attainder as prohibited in the Constitution (and all the other violations on its face)??
The Supreme Court should have every DIM lunatic arrested and sent to GITMO for extensive mental health treatment of unlimited duration. What a bunch of self-preening, arrogant nitwits.
If the Supreme Court goes along with this, we inch ever closer to a revolution.
OK, as soon as you release ALL of Jug Ears sealed documents, deal?
