| xp1337 07/09/20 11:10:25 AM #127: | The law Congress is invoking is an old one in the tax codes that states that the Treasury "shall furnish" records if Congress requests them via a subpoena. Like it's an old law that states Congress has the authority to pull tax records if they want them. The law is crystal clear on this but Trump's legal defense went for "absolute immunity" instead. Hell, 8 of the 9 justices (the 7 + even Alito) have no issue with Congress having the authority to issue legislative subpoenas for someone's personal records. Only Thomas in his dissent rejects that idea in its entirety. We're waaaaay past "should Congress be able to request tax returns" here in both law and the court's ruling. SCOTUS is only waffling in Mazars because the individual in question is POTUS. --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? ... Copied to Clipboard! |
