More worrying

Hoping when the Sup. Ct. says they will take up the case of the finding of the lower court that the law breaker-in-chief must produce his taxes that the Sup. Ct. will put an end to Trump's delaying tactic and find FINALLY that he must respond to Congress's request and produce his taxes that we have a system of checks and balances and he is not a king and above the law so he must produce them. I worry though that so many so called "conservatives" on the Sup. Ct. that Trump with his side kick McConnell who stopped O'Bama's superb pick of Merritt Garland that this will have a deleterious effect on decisions which should go a just way. That is I hope the Supremes will not reverse the lower court and say Trump has the executive power to stop a demand of Congress to submit his taxes to Congress. 

We shall have to wait to see. It would have been a just decision if the Sup. Ct. let the lower court's finding stand which would have meant he must submit his taxes so that the American people can see if Trump is a crook which everyone knows he is. His claim of executive power should ring hollow in view of so many other decisions that order him to obey Congress, the first branch of our government. I hope that decision comes down in the people's favor and fast putting an end to this breach of the public trust and enshrine the institutional nature of a checks and balances system in the same way Nixon had to produce the tapes that proved his guilt even though Nixon thought too that he was above the law. He wasn't and neither should Trump be above the law. This has profound influence on future presidencies.

Supreme Court Temporarily Blocks Subpoena For Trump’s Tax Returns

While this is not a ruling that Trump can get away with not showing what Congress, the first branch of government, it seems to me, should have the right to subpoena, it does give Trump until December 5 to file his brief. If they want his brief filed then it would mean, in my opinion, that they will want to read the briefs and take another 5, 6 or more months until the Sup. Ct. makes its decision which Trump, the master of court delay probably wants. Perhaps, the Supremes felt that this is a decision, much like the Nixon tapes, which carries such gravity that they must weigh in in detail.

It is hard to imagine that even court justices picked by Trump as extreme right wing justices would deny Congress its just powers that the first branch of government should have. Still, it may be that these justices will not foil a president who put them in office and face scorn in the so called "conservative" circles in which they associate.

This worries me that an opinion so obviously just and so important for future presidencies that Trump should, with haste, provide that which Congress has asked through proper subpoena on balance of power grounds. Trump is determined, though, to be seen as a unitary executive with dictatorial king-like powers who can do anything he wants casting aside into the dust bin of history the balance of power foundation upon which our form of government sits and his right wing justices may just let him do it. I worry.  Stay tuned.
