Trump will fight this every step of the way until he no longer can win. Wonder how long the first appeal will take?

Trump will find a way.He can appeal it, but there's nothing stopping the firm from turning over the information right now.

Depends upon whether he stiffed them on the bill or not.I strongly suspect they will wait for the appeals process to work itself out.

It is frankly unbelievable to me that conservatives think Congress should not have the power to request tax returns to see if someone is bribing the president.
Like seriously, what happened to you people? Your party is diseased and it’s taking you down with it. Wake up! Someday you will look back on this time and be ashamed of yourselves.
They do in fact ( and should ) have the right to Request anything they want. When the other branch disagrees with the request that is what the court is for.
I think not wanting to give up power is even a worse one to 'I don't wanna' and I think that is the real reason.When the other branch has a legal argument against the request. I don't wanna is not a legal argument. It is abusive to refuse on no basis and obstruct the legitimate duty of Congress just because you can.
That's why it will go to court. As I said, he might have a leg to stand on, he might even believe that he's doing the right thing. Both of those ideas are the antithesis of the accepted dogma around here, but that doesn't mean they're wrong. In this case, the process is critical, it's good that it's being tested, as the result is more important than simply getting a shot at Trump.
I see this as part of the general myopia in politics, the need to get the desired result today, without thought about tomorrow.
Yup, as predicted. Also the judge ruled extremely quickly indicating that Trump’s argument was not only wrong, but that it wasn’t even close.

I'm not sure Mazar has that option, but the likely appeal result will be to let the lower decision stand.
Couple of edits... hope you don't mind.The only way they could wait for the appeals process to play out would be for a higher court to issue a stay impending appeal, but I doubt that is going to happen. Judge Mehta has already rejected a stay, and I strongly suspect that the appeal itself will be denied for not having any legal grounds for appeal. The courts are aware that Trump hasalmostno legal argument here and ismostlytrying to stall and it does not look like they are interested in allowing it.
By the way Taxes next!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
While Trump’s lawyers had argued that the committee’s subpoena did not have a legitimate legislative purpose — and was therefore invalid — Mehta took a more liberal view.

It's embarrassing that you even need to say this.Law very clearly states that "the other branch disagreeing" has no merit concerning the broad powers granted to Congress concerning this matter, and so the courts do not need to be involved. This is just a stalling tactic from Trump.
That is not opinion. It is written law.
Well, it seems the Law has a liberal bias.It's embarrassing that you even need to say this.
Well, it's a more liberal view in the way that abortion laws with rape exceptions are more liberal than abortion laws without rape exceptions, and assuming of course that the liberal/conservative scale correlates perfectly with the rational/irrational scale.This phrase in the article is stupid:
The judge did not take a liberal view. He took a constitutional view.
Lock them up! Lock them up!
