NO we don't agree on investigations without a predicate - we just did that -it's unConstitutional

On what grounds? Following the rule of law?

Mehta said, Democrats' subpoena fell within well-established congressional investigative powers. He said he would not stay his ruling pending appeal.

“It is simply not fathomable that a Constitution that grants Congress the power to remove a President for reasons including criminal behavior would deny Congress the power to investigate him for unlawful conduct—past or present—even without formally opening an impeachment inquiry," Mehta wrote.

A do over? How the hell does that make sense to you? The election is long gone. We have a bumbler in the white house until 2020. The left knows that. Trump says that do over crap and it is truly stupid. This was the first case to hit the courts and Trump lost. There will be many more. That is why Trump and McConnell are stacking as many courts as they can get away with.Trump believes that a judge rules according to who appointed him. I guess judges ignore the law and call the president for the proper decision.

Washington (CNN)A federal district judge has told the accounting firm Mazars it will need to turn over Donald Trump's accounting records from before he was President to the Democratic-controlled House Oversight Committee.
In a 41-page opinion, Judge Amit Mehta of the DC District Court rejected Trump's attempt to block the committee's subpoena, asserting that Congress is well within its authority to investigate the President.

Mehta's opinion will now likely become fodder for other judges to consider as Trump and his Cabinet try to hold off Congress from getting his business records, such as through the IRS, banks and in other court fights.
Congress specifically can probe the President for conflicts of interest and ethical questions, Mehta wrote.

"History has shown that congressionally-exposed criminal conduct by the President or a high-ranking Executive Branch official can lead to legislation," Mehta wrote, citing the Watergate investigation by the Senate.

"It is simply not fathomable that a Constitution that grants Congress the power to remove a President for reasons including criminal behavior would deny Congress the power to investigate him for unlawful conduct -- past or present -- even without formally opening an impeachment inquiry," he added.

Mazars has seven days until it will have to comply with the subpoena, Mehta said in his opinion Monday, but the judge refused to halt the subpoena after that. Another court would have to do so. Trump's team has not yet appealed the ruling.


"The court is well aware that this case involves records concerning the private and business affairs of the President of the United States. But on the question of whether to grant a stay pending appeal, the President is subject to the same legal standard as any other litigant that does not prevail," Mehta wrote.​

Surprise.....an Obama appointee goes with the DEEP STATE. Do you really think this over? Just why do you assume Mr. Trump has appointed 100s of federal judges and packed SCOTUS with constitutionalists? Just like Trump has bitch slapped the 9th circuit over and over and has now began ignoring the BLUE SLIPS from California democrats and started filling even the 9th circuit with conservative appointments.....Trump will bitch slap this little left wing twerp back into reality. ;) Trump has a team of the best constitutional lawyers on the planet. Executive Privilege is grounded in precedential concrete. The days of left wing judges legislating from the bench are over.

Yep.....your ad hominem statement void of any objective documentation certainly cleared that right up.:laugh: Again.....do you really think this is over because an OBAMA appointee has sided with the deep state? And of course there was no Muslim Ban.....the courts stopped it....not. The Illegals can stay in the states and not be forced back into Mexico....just ask the 9th circuit......WRONG. Trump has won every major decision he set out to win. ;) From the Muslim Terrorist ban to the Mueller Time. As always...….as stated by Mark Twain, Figures don't lie but liars sure as hell figure. Just present the number of times Mr. Trump has lost a court battle "since becoming POTUS". Truth? When someone comes after Trump instead of Trump suing another and going after them....Trump has won 42 suits and lost but 19. Ask the Porn Star and her creepy Porn lawyer. Question? Where is this democrat self professed TRUMP basher that can beat Trump in a presidential race? :thinking: I have not seen him on CNN or MSNBC in months....I wonder why? Its not good to piss off the TEFLON DON, now the most powerful man on the planet.

On to the appellate court.... Next
 
McConnell prevented a far left judge who would have legislated from the Supreme Court from being nominated to the Supreme Court.

Good job, McConnell.

Are they Constitutionally barred from doing so?

No they are "LEGALLY" barred from doing so. This left wing judge has simply attempted to start a bitchy slap fight....and will get knocked on his legal ass very shortly. ;) EXECUTIVE PRIVILEGE is grounded in precedential concrete. Just ask SCOTUS.
