    Default Smacked down by the appeals Court!

    "A congressional committee, as committees have done repeatedly over the past two centuries, issued an investigative subpoena, and the target of that subpoena, questioning the committee's legislative purpose, has asked a court to invalidate it," the majority opinion states. "The fact that the subpoena in this case seeks information that concerns the President of the United States adds a twist, but not a surprising one."


    The Court upheld NY States subpoena for Trump's Tax returns.

    44 U.S.C. 2202 - The United States shall reserve and retain complete ownership, possession, and control of Presidential records; and such records shall be administered in accordance with the provisions of this chapter.

    this is over the emoluments clause!! ROFL..if it gets to SCOTUS i expect it to be thrown out over unequal justice.
    Congress has never established th emoluments a a reason to look into POTUS finances before

    this was a DC appeals court

    The Supreme Court will refuse to hear this, my prediction.

    BTW I correctly predicted today’s ruling!

    It would be very unusual for the Supreme Court to take up a case like this, they will most likely let the rulings in the lower courts stand.
