WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court on Monday declined to block the release of Arizona Republican Party Chair Kelli Ward’s phone records to the House committee investigating the Jan. 6 riot at the Capitol.
The justices rejected an emergency request filed by Ward, meaning that phone records associated with her T-Mobile cellphone will be disclosed to the House committee. Two conservative justices, Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito, noted in the brief order that they would have granted the application.
Liberal Justice Elena Kagan last month temporarily prevented the subpoena from being enforced while the justices weighed what steps to take.
Ward and her husband, Michael Ward, were among 14 of 84 so-called alternate electors subpoenaed this year by the Jan. 6 committee, which cited their association with bogus documents claiming then-President Donald Trump had won the 2020 election in their states.
Lower courts, including the San Francisco-based 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, rejected Ward’s arguments to block the subpoena.
The couple, who are both doctors, have argued, among other things, that disclosing their records would violate medical privacy laws. The committee is pursuing only Kelli Ward’s records. At the Supreme Court, Ward argued that the subpoena violates her right to freedom of association under the Constitution’s First Amendment.
“If Dr. Ward’s telephone and text message records are disclosed, congressional investigators are going to contact every person who communicated with her during and immediately after the tumult of the 2020 election. That is not speculation, it is a certainty,” the couple’s lawyers wrote in court papers.

Of course they did.
There is one party - the State Party.

Come January 1, that committee no longer exists and those subpoenas can be cancelled.
What phone records of Ray Epps were subpoenaed? Vids show him with a megaphone encouraging protester to storm the Capitol but nothing has been done about his public sworn testimony.
so the SCOTUS has now sanctioned the J6 committee as legitimate when according to the US Constitution, it is not.
This whole crap show goes away Jan. 3
Delay until this kangaroo court is dissolved!
If that were true we wouldn’t have gotten Dobbs, or the gun case, or the strike down of the employer vax, or a dozen other great decisions we got.
This term we’re looking at the reversal of the NC Supreme Court involvement in the legislature’s map and in the end of affirmative action.
There is nothing whatsoever to support this position when it comes to the Court.
Meanwhile, the whole stupid committee goes away Jan. 3.
Kavanaugh, Barrett and to a lesser extent Gorsuch show that they are duds.

How’s that leak Investigation going?
And there are Powerful Republicans wanting to increase funding for that Committee. They said so before the Election.
.
They didn’t look at Peter Strzok and Lisa Page’s personal cell phone records!
And they made it clear in Govt texts they were keeping their plans to take out the President of the United States to their personal phones and computers whenever possible.
Why Kelli Ward?
If you read the linked article you will find out.
Looks like the Swamp is afraid she’s going to win her race.
What we need to see is Pelosi’s phone records to put this all to bed once and for all...
You're thinking of Kari Lake. This is talking about Kelli Ward.
Rhetorical question. The state is using 1/6 as an all purpose means of eliminating, or trying to eliminate, all impediments. I’m wondering what about ward they’re really interested in.
.
Gee, do you think they’ll ever care what on Gen Milley’s cell phone regarding money laundering?
And it would be totally improper for a Congressional Committee to look at Hunter and James Biden’s cell and text records.
Unless you were born yesterday, you know these things are true.
