How long would this 'review' take?CNN said:House subpoenas for President Trump’s financial documents will remain blocked the Supreme Court said, sending a controversial case back down to the lower court for further review.
Weeks, months, possibly a year. No one knows.How long would this 'review' take?
It seems likely Trump will be able to delay until after the election.How long would this 'review' take?
wtf this means? And what way did Kavanaugh vote?
That could also be a big motivation for Democrats as well. Vote Trump out and gain SC majority.Kavanaugh and Gorsuch both decided with the majority, in both cases. Alito and Thomas dissented—and as per rumors they will be announcing retirement shortly.
So Trump, after failing to respond to a pandemic and tanking our economy and doing as yet untold damage to our reputation abroad, gets to dangle 2 SCOTUS seats in front of conservatives to bring them in line to vote for him anyway.
Ok .. so reading between the lines, if Trump dont get a second term, these justices will NOT retire?Kavanaugh and Gorsuch both decided with the majority, in both cases. Alito and Thomas dissented—and as per rumors they will be announcing retirement shortly.

Yup, in many ways this spells the end of congressional oversight.Dammit! Con gets ticket punched to keep conning the masses

Even though the legal theories he was advancing are laughable, he will be able to delay complying with any congressional subpoenas for the entirety of the House’s term.
Trump v. Vance (NY State), in which the Court rejected Trump's claims of immunity from state grand jury proceedings.
The Court was unanimous in rejecting Trump's claims of absolute immunity, but split 5-2-2 on the proper standard to apply.
what does 5-2-2 mean?!
2 justices absented from voting?
which 2?
How does it not end oversight? Future presidents have a playbook - invent ridiculous legal claims and draw things out in the courts. If you make it to the end of the House’s term or to your re-election before the courts force you to do anything, you win.Not sure it is that dire. It punts it and the public does not see the info, but it does not end oversight. The ignoring of subpoenas are much worse than this ruling.
that is odd.Kavanaugh and Gorsuch
To drag things out?that is odd.
wonder why they didnt issue a vote on the proper standard to apply to supena a Prez financial docs?.

Once the Tax returns are revealed with all the line items from the Russians, fine, but the can of worms will remain open long after Trump leaves office...
You guys want this to be legal precedent, live with it. There's an old saying; "be careful what you wish for." Eventually this will be far reaching and there goes some of our right to privacy. Some of you sure think it's a good idea to have the government more involved in our lives.
Derp State conspiracies.
