His ethics are so thin as to be “sheer” and practically indecent.

100% wrong. It was a crushing defeat for Trump.
False again—the courts can expedite the issue and probably will do so.
Sekulow is Trump’s personal attorney, so no one else is paying him.

They have to act like that. If they show their satisfaction then everybody will realize the huge break the SCOTUS gave Trump.

And now the pivot: We already cooperated. We gave them everything. We’re the most cooperative administration of all time.
Unless Vlad is contributing to the cause…

7-2 decision. So three members of your own “team” even think you’re full of shit.

Unless I missed something, I thought the NY case was final. Shouldn’t Vance be able to get the relevant records from Mazar’s today if he so choose?
Trump doesn’t care about about Constitutional principles. What Trump wants is to be able to maintain politically damaging information about his finances out of public view, and the court ruling has allow him to do it, until at least after the election. So yes is a clear tactical win.
Are you sure about this? Can’t it being paid from a “Defense Fund” where the major contributors are the sketchy businesses that have been receiving contracts build the wall or providing hydroxychloroquine or fake PPE to the government?

At this rate who thinks that the tax returns will make any difference in November?
He’s losing in a landslide right now in the polls.

Every bit helps and clearcut evidence of having committed fraud with either his taxes or lenders (within the statute of limitations) would be a great retort to his “Law and Order” pronouncements.

This is moving the goal posts. The point is that the SCOTUS is letting him hide information sought by Congress and Prosecutors for as long as he wants.
Goddamn it - not for as long as he wants at all. For as long as it takes the NY court to rule. Then he probably will appeal it but that timetable is not up to him.
@noonm - I don’t think it makes one bit of difference at this point. It might have back in 2016, but not now. Now he has a record he has to run on and it’s plenty full of shit.

He only wants it to delay for four months longer, even if the lower court rules tomorrow it will take more than that for the SCOTUS to hear the appeal.
It isn’t going to the SCOTUS if appealed - it goes to the state appellate court and it might go as an interim appeal which means it’s fast tracked.
But I still don’t think it matters one damn bit.
It does in the bigger picture. the Supreme Court is saying “No the president is not immune, but he can drags things in the courts for long enough to avoid paying a political price”.
That is not what the decisions said at all. Not at all.

He’s a faux American, anyway, so why would he care. But could Canada return his native province to the First Nations?
