Trump loses at Supreme Court - NY DA will receive Trump financial records.

Will he bow out of the Presidential race now?

lol

Well it's interesting, I suppose we'll see what actually becomes of it.
 
Ooh, Kavanaugh and Gorsuch wrote a concurring oppinion with the majority decision.

That has got to sting.

At least this decision went the right way.
 
The case will go back to the lower court where Trump can argue for a narrowing of the subpoenas. The second decision regarding congressional subpoenas is coming later.
 
Supreme Court Ruling - Trump taxes

NO CATEGORICAL IMMUNITY FOR TRUMP!


The Supreme Court has ruled in favor of Cyrus Vance, Trump cannot say
absolutely 'no' to Cyrus Vance.

The Supreme Court has also ruled that trump is not immune from the NY grand jury process.

Trump's lawyer, Jay Sekelow will have to go back to the lower courts and duke it out with Cyrus Vance where they have already lost previously.


The second ruling is due any minutes.
 
Seems like they made the right call in accordance to the law.....which is what we want all courts to do, follow the law, not try to bend it or twist it to fit their views....
 
Has SCOTUS always released opinions in this manner, or is there just more interest, given the subject?
 
7 - 2...impressive. Of course the 2 who opposed are the 2 most corrupt judges by far.

They typically do it live but due to COVID they are doing it online. They start at 10am ET and release one opinion every 10 minutes...
 
"No citizen, not even the President, is categorically above the common duty to produce evidence when called upon in a criminal proceeding. The President is neither absolutely immune from state criminal subpoenas ... nor entitled to a heightened standard of need."

Thanks for the breaking news. This case was rolled in with two others--the House committee subpoenas to Deutsch Bank and Mazars in which the President made the same argument of complete immunity.

I wonder if the decision on those two will also be coming out today. There is a "test" required on the two Congressional cases--that the information is necessary to the committee's work (or something like that).

It seems to me that the President's lawyers made a big mistake with the position they took--it was extreme and ridiculous. Of course the SC rejected it. But whether the House has the right to be poking into the President's bank and accounting records? I think it could seen as a fishing expedition. We'll see.

Keep the news coming! And thanks!

Looks like it's going back to the lower courts for the House.
