BPR:
The U.S. Supreme Court denied a request on Monday by House Democrats to speed the timeline of ongoing court cases regarding congressional subpoenas for President Donald Trump’s tax returns.
The new ruling follows an earlier 7-2 high court decision to continue protecting a tranche of the president’s financial and tax records from prying Democrat House committees, ordering the case returned to lower courts for additional litigation, The Hill reported.
Under normal high court procedures, the outlet noted further, the ruling would be sent to lower courts no sooner than Aug. 3, which is a delay Democrats wanted to do away with by asking justices to fast-track the process.
However, in an unsigned order, the court rejected the request, though Leftist Justice Sonia Sotomayor said she would have granted the request.
SCOTUS to House dems: GFY
Good.
@Uncle Al – is this verdict only a response to their own ‘necks on the line’? Not ‘neck’ of course in the physical sense, but their very own PRIVACY could be at…’stake’…and those ‘necks’ and ‘stakes’, pun intended… are very high for the SCOTUS.
The only reason for this is to look for something they can use against him, they’re not looking for proof of a known or reasonably suspected crime.
It would be the equivalent of someone being hauled in to be interrogated by the police because someone on the police department has a grudge against them and wants to charge them with something to get even.
This investigation should not be legal and is an abuse of power which should be a crime in itself.

SCROTUS is as corrupt as the House.
Has the SCROTUS or the FISA court censured the FBI yet? Didn’t think so …

If there was anything to use against DJT in his tax filings, the IRS would have leaked it long ago. His taxes are a big nothing burger; there’s no there, there.
