Will SCOTUS protect Trump's tax returns?

[JimZipCode]

If the Dems win the Senate and WH next November, the Supreme Court won't protect Trump. The Court w/its 11 Justices will vote to nail him to the wall. The horrible threat to our Constitution and democracy will thus be extinguished.

Ok. But this family of cases is expected to hit the court within the next, I dunno, 45 days? Appellants have requested it be "fast tracked". So, whatever might happen a year from now doesn't seem particularly relevant to the case.



(Yeah, I caught the "11".)

You skipped § 6103(f), which of course is the whole enchilada.

The "Congressional committees with responsibility in the tax area" referenced, are House Ways & Means and Senate Finance, plus the Joint Committee on Taxation. The Joint committee is a little redundant: it's made up of 5 members of Ways & Means (House) + 5 members of Finance (Senate).

The "safeguards to protect the identity of the taxpayer" are that the committee(s) be "sitting in closed executive session", so the taxpayer info doesn't become part of the public record of the proceedings.

Ways & Means requested the return(s).


Except the Committee on Ways and Means of the House of Representatives, the Committee on Finance of the Senate, the Joint (House & Senate) Committee on Taxation, sitting in closed executive session; and the Chief of Staff of the Joint Committee on Taxation. Specified in § 6103(f).

And that is protected by the 4th amendment for people to be secure in their houses papers etc....

So, you're saying that § 6103(f) is sort of "unlitigated" law? It's only on the books because no one got around to challenging it before? And the Supreme Court will nullify that law, now that they're finally getting a chance to rule on it?
