It doesn't matter. The article explains why it is unconstitutional.

""There are very good reasons why the very liberal Gov. Jerry Brown vetoed this bill two years ago - it's unconstitutional and it opens up the possibility for states to load up more requirements on candidates in future elections. What's next, five years of health records?" he said.

Murtaugh said states cannot add requirements to presidential candidates' qualifications for running.

"The Constitution is clear on the qualifications for someone to serve as president and states cannot add additional requirements on their own," he said. "The bill also violates the 1st Amendment right of association since California can't tell political parties which candidates their members can or cannot vote for in a primary election.""

It will last five seconds in the courts. Dear leftist dumbfucks in California; this is the kind of stupid you get when the Party of the Jackass is running things.

It doesn't matter; it is a violation of the Constitution and will last for five seconds in the courts. I am glad to see the Party of the Jackass wasting their time on stupid things like this.

This reminds me of when Lincoln had his name kept off the ballots in Dem states. He went on to win the election and the war.

Let it and don't count CA electoral votes because of an unconstitutional election in that state.
Hopefully it will be the first step in Calif. secession so they can become a colony or state of Mexico. Come to think of it, that would be good for Mexico.

I saw that a couple of days ago. That's interesting. Jerry Brown wouldn't sign it. We'll see. If states wanted to demand OBAMA'S birth certificate, why can't someone demand Trump's tax returns?

it not the only state doing it

Read the Constitution shit-for-brains. Being natural born and age 35 is a Constitutional requirement; tax returns are not. See the difference? Dunce.

unfortunately Trump's army of lawyers will file suit to stop the release, his entire world would crumble if people knew of his various scams

There are at least three reasons why Trump is desperately hiding his taxes.

Number one, Trump’s tax returns will show that he is not anywhere near as wealthy as he claimed. Remember during the campaign he kept saying he was worth more than $10 billion. But after he became president, he signed under oath his financial disclosure statement, and 90 percent of his wealth vanished. Even that statement, which I’ve analyzed, overstates his wealth. There’s never been a scintilla of verifiable evidence that Trump is a billionaire. And I’m the guy who revealed, back in 1990 when he said he was worth $3 billion, that he wasn’t a billionaire. We eventually found that he had negative net worth of about $295 million—minus $295 million.

Secondly, Donald Trump is a tax cheat. He had two civil trials for income tax fraud, one by the State of New York and the other by the City of New York. In both cases he lost. In one of those trials, his own long-time tax attorney and accountant, Jack Mitnick, testified against him. Mitnick was shown the filed tax return, which was a photocopy, and testified, “That’s my signature on the return, but neither I nor my firm prepared that tax return.” That’s as good a badge of fraud as you’re ever going to find. It indicates that Donald Trump took the tax return that was prepared, changed it, and then with a photocopy machine put the signature of Jack Mitnick on it. Donald Trump is also a confessed sales tax cheat. Mayor Ed Koch of New York said he should have served 15 days in jail for his crime. Trump has a long history of hiding records from auditors, cheating governments, using two sets of numbers. So his tax returns are highly likely to show tax cheating.

Finally, the returns may well establish how much money he has been getting from Russians, Saudis, people from the Emirates, and elsewhere. They may show whether he has been engaged in money laundering for these people through real estate transactions and other actions that make no business sense, but, when closely examined, show exactly what we see when there’s money laundering. I think the record is pretty clear that he has been doing that.
