SACRAMENTO California lawmakers are seeking once again to force President Trump to release his tax returns by blocking access to the state primary election ballot if he does not.
The matter is now in the hands of Gov. Gavin Newsom, after the state Senate gave final approval Thursday to SB27, which would require presidential candidates to release their last five years of income tax returns in order to be eligible for the primary election in California.

Disqualify all votes from California.
Brilliant! I love this idea..
Horrors!
Trump may now lose California in 2020.
CA is a Mexican colony.
We shouldn’t count any of their votes until their voter rolls are cleaned up.
I still can’t understand why any government pays for the nominating process of a private political party. It is not up to California to decide who the Republicans can and cannot nominate. And, in the general election, it is not up to California to add conditions to the Constitutional requirements to run for office.
The Constitution spells out eligibility for office of POTUS and it says nothing about “must release tax returns”.
They’re only going to take him off the primary ballot.
It would have no effect.
The Dems think they control who can run for President ?
My fantasy is to just get this sh*t fired up with CWII. The a-hole left will never stop until they eliminate us. Then they will destroy each other. Let that sink in. History tells us what will ultimately happen unless we prevent it.
They cannot do this.
Not the ninth circuit as Trump has remade it.
States are free to appoint electors as they choose, but theyre not free to set requirements to be president, those are listed in the constitution. I dont see this standing Supreme Court scrutiny because it would open the door to all kinds of crazy schemes in the future. Whats to prevent a state from refusing to allow someone on a ballot if they dont declare their support for gay rights, etc.?
Is the majority now conservative?
What if a poor person who has no income and is not required to file a tax return wants to run for office?
With any luck, this additional requirement not sanctioned by the Constitution will result in all California Presidential votes being tossed out.
States did not even check to see if the Kenyan from Indonesia was a natural born citizen.
Hawaii took Pelosi’s word on that and the other states took her wink and nod,

“Republicans werent on the last two California Senate election ballots”
That’s because in six of the last CA state senate election contests (2018) the Republicans didn’t even bother to run a candidate.
Basically the CA state GOP has surrendered to the Democrats.
Maybe you should run for the CA state senate next time just so your local Republicans have someone to vote for?
The worst thing that could happen is you might win.
(-:
There are no “conservative” judges and “liberal” judges /s
Seriously, Dem appointed judges still outnumber GOP appointed judges on the 9th but the margin is a bit smaller now. Don’t know the numbers off hand but I’m sure its in recent news.
And the way the courts handle appeals, they draw lots of 3 judges to hear the cases. It makes it much more likely to draw 2 of 3. And, if the 3 judge panel is to be overruled by an en banc hearing of the full court, it will be that much harder to cobble a majority to vote for an en banc hearing.
kick them out of the union then
They have no say in the R. primary.
Idiots.
The states cannot add requirements to Presidential elections
What are you even talking about??
Where in the Constitution do you find ANYTHING about Presidential elections?
