Next, Dems will shop and get a friendly Judge when this goes to court.

Yeah unlike the spineless Repubs they’ll put teeth to the subpoena and force the Trump administration to comply with the subpoena or face contempt of court. Anything to leverage an offence for their coup.
I believe the DOJ over rides any judicial rulings the DOJ is the TOP DOG of justice!!! I guess they could drag it all the way to the SCOTUS but they will LOSE taxes are confidential PERIOD!!!
It’s none of Congress’ f...ing business.
And label the DoJ as racist. (might as well hit on all the usual whines while they are at it)
If that's the way it goes, we have a serious problem.
When it was Holder being slapped with a contempt of Congress, it never went to court because (we were told) it simply could only be sent to the DOJ as a referral and we all knew how that was going to go. And that's exactly how it did go and where--nowhere.
If Dems can on there own take this kind of thing to court independently, we were lied to about how the DOJ was able to stop the Holder Contempt Citation and referral in its tracks.
Regardless of what court this goes to, they will have to consider that the law as they interpret it will not just be applicable to President Trump. If it is found that there is an unfettered right for Congress to receive anyone’s tax return, there will be no privacy in tax matters. All members of Congress, the Judiciary, business and individuals will be vulnerable.
