President Donald Trump's lawyers will urge the Supreme Court on Tuesday to let him block access to his tax returns and other financial documents sought by three congressional committees and a New York prosecutor.
In one of the most closely watched disputes of the court's term, the cases will test the justices' independence and could yield major rulings on the power of Congress to demand documents from a sitting president — or the authority of a president to refuse.
The court will hear the two separate cases by telephone conference call with each justice taking a turn to ask questions, a process that began May 4 and for the most part has worked smoothly, despite a toilet flushing faux pas. It has, however, tamed the normal back and forth of oral argument, and the questioning has been less aggressive. Live audio of the argument will be available on C-SPAN.
Whichever way the court rules, the decisions — there will be one for each case — will be a blockbuster. The rulings will probably be released by late next month.

“Let him block access”???
WTH?
Push an opinion much?
"Liberals" used to care. Progressives never did. To Progressives, any limit on government power is an affront to their core belief system.
To Progressives, government is god, or at least, god on earth.
That is spot on. Congress and the prosecutor are simply on a fishing expedition with zero crime or evidence of a crime on which to base their cases.
Trump is morally obligated to refuse to give such documents to liberal fascists who already weaponized spy agencies against the opposition party in an election and then undermined an elected President.
Funny how the left cared about so many things UNTIL President Trump.
Why are they so hell bent on getting their grubby little hands on these tax returns?
Do they really want to bare the records of a Biden and other Dem politicians who may ever run for the WH?
They think they can find something that the IRS hasn't been able to find after years and years of annual audits.
