No. They were kicked it back to lower court, from where they can be appealed again.

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?

House Republicans on Thursday morning were quick to conclude that… was a “political” hit job.
Let’s all just keep in mind, these are the House Republicans, and have been since 1994’s ‘Contract With America’. They were Trumping before he became a Republican and continue to search for any lever of power, no matter how base, to further their own power.
The rats will start jumping from the ship, but it’s important to remember they aren’t doing so to save their Party from drowning, or bring sanity to their politics. It’s because they’re rats… its what they do.

OT, but Sullivan has requested the en banc review of Rao’s and Henderson’s idiocy in the Flynn matter…
Of course, that means Faux News needed to disinform their idiot target audience by making it seem like Sullivan was simply refusing to obey a direct appellate court order. Just look at the vehemence in the KKKomment boards if you’d like a sense of a fraction of a percent of the violence waiting to take to our streets when Trump loses…

A fine point. Speaking of fine points, perhaps there is an indigenous group that could reclaim his over-sharpened nose? I realize I’m going ad hominem, but Ted is a special case.
McCarthy is an asshole.

During a press conference shortly after the Supreme Court issued its ruling, > House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) said that although he had yet to see the ruling, he stands by the President because, he claimed, Trump has been transparent in his financial disclosures.
“I’ve watched President Trump abide by all the requests that someone has for financial disclosure, which are much more thorough than any tax returns,” McCarthy said.
I truly hope that one day, before the end of the Trump Administration, a quote like this is met by hysterical laughter from all of the media people present.
