I guess blacks ain’t going to be getting their “40 acres and a mule” in Oklahoma.
Trump v. Vance
https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/19pdf/19-635_o7jq.pdf
Last page of ruling abainst Trump:
4 TRUMP v. VANCE
ALITO, J., dissenting
the most exceptional cases. Id., at 692. There is no question that a criminal prosecution holds far greater potential
for distracting a President and diminishing his ability to
carry out his responsibilities than does the average civil
suit.
* * *
The subpoena at issue here is unprecedented. Never before has a local prosecutor subpoenaed the records of a sitting President. The Courts decision threatens to impair
the functioning of the Presidency and provides no real protection against the use of the subpoena power by the Nations 2,300+ local prosecutors. Respect for the structure of
Government created by the Constitution demands greater
protection for an institution that is vital to the Nations
safety and well-being.
I therefore respectfully dissent.
Re: 3:
7-2.
I think it was a close call. The future peril is that now local prosecutors will use this care as the wedge to subpoena future President’s. The future is litigious as far as the eye can see!
CONGRESS BLOCKED......AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA
we agree that this case will be remanded to the District Court.
So, reading elsewhere that this case will go back and eventually end up in front of the SCOTUS again? Is there any chance at all these are released before the election?
Roberts courts punts again, two useless decisions.
The 7-2 is troubling. Now a politician who dislikes you can get your records without proof of a crime and fabricate one.
The real enemy of America is not the man sitting in the White House. Its true enemies are the people that sit on our courts, the control freaks who populate our federal government, and the idiots in Congress and the media. All these entities are destroying the country just to get one man! Its beyond shame that so many Americans cant see whats in store for all of us if they vote for Biden and his ilk.
Roberts dissent eviscerates the majority ruling pretty unequivocally.
19-715 Trump v. Mazars USA, LLP
Another Trump case: 7-2 against Trump; case continues with lower courts
THOMAS, J., and ALITO, J., filed dissenting opinions.
“DONALD J. TRUMP, ET AL., PETITIONERS
19715 v.
MAZARS USA, LLP, ET AL.
ON WRIT OF CERTIORARI TO THE UNITED STATES COURT OF
APPEALS FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA CIRCUIT
DONALD J. TRUMP, ET AL., PETITIONERS
19760 v.
DEUTSCHE BANK AG, ET AL.
ON WRIT OF CERTIORARI TO THE UNITED STATES COURT OF
APPEALS FOR THE SECOND CIRCUIT
[July 9, 2020]
CHIEF JUSTICE ROBERTS delivered the opinion of the
Court.
Over the course of five days in April 2019, three committees of the U. S. House of Representatives issued four subpoenas seeking information about the finances of President
Donald J. Trump, his children, and affiliated businesses.
We have held that the House has authority under the Constitution to issue subpoenas to assist it in carrying out its
legislative responsibilities. The House asserts that the financial information sought hereencompassing a decades
worth of transactions by the President and his familywill
help guide legislative reform in areas ranging from money
laundering and terrorism to foreign involvement in U. S. “

Its going back to the lower court and Trump team can make further arguments.
Lol, the supreme Court proves again that it is a completely broken institution. No one would have agreed to the constitution if this was thought to be the rule. How do i know that. Commonwealth sense logic. Not the type of people and not the type of era to accept giving their privacy uo.
Let the leaking of grand jury proceedings begin!
“Roberts dissent eviscerates the majority ruling pretty unequivocally.”
Roberts voted with the majority, not against the majority.
Only Thomas and Alito dissented.
...Disposition of items considered at conference yesterday will be reflected on an Order List that will be released at 2 p.m. today...

He was challenging his conviction on the grounds that the Indian Tribe should've had jurisdiction.
So the Supreme Court just gave away half of a US State to protect a pedophile?
Roberts dissent eviscerates the majority ruling pretty unequivocally.
Roberts voted with the majority, not against the majority.
Only Thomas and Alito dissented.
Can hardly wait for Pelosi, Scummie, Schitt and Tubby Naddy to perform for the media.
We are pleased that in the decisions issued today, the Supreme Court has temporarily blocked both Congress and New York prosecutors from obtaining the Presidents financial records. We will now proceed to raise additional Constitutional and legal issues in the lower courts.
