    Roberts might come through on this one.He might not want his court to be the one that gives this kind of power to not only this president but every future president.

  3. Not really. You made some stupid, ill-informed comments about how McConnell could be involved or how Trump might defy the court and not release the records, whereupon I gave you the correct understanding - ie. the records sought are not in his possession and it would be between the court and his accountant.

    You are correct though, that I was "wasting a lot of time" by attempting to educate you. You should be thanking others and taking notes when they post here.

    Idiot. You got yourself a Joe Biden problem going. You definitely are several sandwiches short of a picnic these days. Long rambling posts with word salads and offering to help you is met with drool and drivel from you.

    May I be first to say I did not see TFT post in a while and disappointed he is still with us. Corona is cruel, dashing hope so often.

    Speaking of pond life..

    Just because you've consistently supported a proven Jackass and refused to admit your mistake, unlike some other brighter ET posters, does not mean your not entitled to your opinion. You are, even when it displays your lack of good judgement for all to see. I don't understand why you would want to do this, other then blind hubris and the inability to admit you're wrong. That's a personality trait you seem to have in common with our Jackass President. Maybe that's what binds you two together, like two desperate souls bound to the mast of a sinking ship.

    Imagine if Obama had withheld his tax returns. You racist mofos would be taking shots at the guy with your 30-30 lever guns and storming 1600 Penn Ave. Give me a fucking break.

    Trumps private financial information will not be turned over to the public regardless of any court proceeding or judgement during his administration(s). Possibly after but not during.

    I've got a hundred bucks that says those tax returns stay private until the man leaves office.

    Snarkdouche is correct... no way this Kangaroo Court opens the floodgates on this criminal POTUS.

    I'm wondering about Gorsuch also. This is his first big case on the bench where there is a wide gulf between efficacious politics and the rule of law. The case should tell us much about what kind of SCOTUS Judge he'll be. Scalia, on the other hand, were he still with us, would have no trouble twisting the arguments enough to favor the President on this one. In Scalia's case it would simply be a matter of what any right minded person would do -- his perfect model of a right-minded person being himself! As an addicted reader of Scalia's colorful opinions, I have observed that Scalia, although claimed he was an "originalist," was actually a "selective Originalist". He used originalism whenever it served it's purpose to explain both rational and irrational opinions, but whenever his purpose ran afoul of origialism, he had no problem jettisoning the concept all together as though he had never owned it in the first place. There is not one scintilla of doubt that those living at the time of the Constitution's drafting had no intention of setting the President above the law nor would they have interpreted the words in the Constitution as doing that. Yet, if Scalia, as a "right-minded person," had wanted to come down on the side of the President, he would have found a way to do so, originalism be damned. Now, Neil Gorsuch has also claimed to be in originalism's corner, a concept I personally believe is both as absurd and as dangerous as Kavenaugh's and Barr's Unitary Executive invention. What kind of judge will Gorsuch prove to be now that he is on our land's highest bench. We are just about ready to find out.

  10. You are deteriorating along with Joe Biden.

    Neither one of you have said anything interesting in years, but your ability to say nothing at great length grows exponentially by the month.
