There wasn’t much doubt about how Bammy’s buddy Mehta would rule.

However, a president can simply refuse to honor it, as he can refuse to obey a judicial order. Separation of powers and there’s not a darned thing the judges can do about it.
Tough turkey!

So yes, Congress can make illegal or unfair or simply unconstitutional demands on a president, thereby precipitating a “constitutional crisis”.. congress can do this any time it wishes, but it can avail them nothing so long as a president says no. Political whoopie and some headlines, yes. Documents, no.

Our Founders set up three co-equal and SEPARATE branches of government, dependent on each other ONLY to the limited degrees they specified. Our Founders had the example of a Parliamentary system.... which they certainly could have adopted had they wished...and in which the Prime Minister has to obey the majority votes of the Parliament.
Our Founders specifically said NO to that system.

Obama appointee. Nuff said. This and The NY Times article about “money laundering” coincide with last line defense knowing the dung will be hitting the fan very soon. The times story was laughable about a failure to report questionable back and forth cash drops by trump businesses while never once mentioning anything ever about the crime family foundations.

This judge has no authority to do this.

There will be an injunction on this absurd ruling and it will go the the Supremes.
