Next ruling is on whether or not Congress can have the records ...

BREAKING: Supreme Court rules Manhattan district attorney can obtain Trump tax returns. A ruling on whether Congress can get access is coming next.
My head was ready to explode, too ....
Waiting for the decision on Congress.
Could very well be the dims worst nightmare.
How about opening all the records that Obummer paid millions to seal.
Or is that different and off limits?
SC did block Congress from getting Trump’s tax records.
Congress cannot get the records.

1-1 for @realDonaldTrump at @USSupremeCourt. SCOTUS gives NY A-G a green light to subpoena Trump financial records. Congress is told it can't have POTUS' tax returns
Mazars looks like a win for Trump. Roberts writes another 7-2 (something of a trend in these final decisions). While the Court does not sign off on the Trump demands, it vacates the lower court decision. https://t.co/dy2RNsWbvm— Jonathan Turley (@JonathanTurley) July 9, 2020
"The courts below did not take adequate account of the significant separation of powers concerns implicated by congressional subpoenas for the President's information." Where Trump went too far in Trump v. Vance, the Congress may have been equally extreme in its demands here.
Mazars finds that the lower courts were too dismissive of valid concerns over the possible intrusion of such congressional into executive areas. This will, like the New York case, go back to lower courts. This means that the cans get kicked down the road past the election.
Remember, the SC also sent the NY request back to the lower court and gave POTUS explicit permission to question each subpoena request.
This, IMHO, will end up back in the SC at some point.
Key point
Thus far I am unimpressed with Kavanaugh and Gorsuch. They seem to be trying to prove how fair they are by siding with the libs....I guess they’re aiming for acceptance in the swamp.
Is New York claiming they need it in investigation of some wrongdoing?
And each claim (NY and Congress) are being sent back to the lower courts for the same reasons ... so try as they may to make political jay out of this, the socialists will have a hard time.
Hash?
Cy Vance has a political vendetta against our President.
Listening to Jim Jordan right now and he said that the President is used to the fight.
Has to fight for everything.
Boy, is that the truth.
The “hush payments” to women during the 2016 campaign.
The Supreme Court sends case back to Lower Court, arguments to continue. This is all a political prosecution. I won the Mueller Witch Hunt, and others, and now I have to keep fighting in a politically corrupt New York. Not fair to this Presidency or Administration!
