Wow. That is some damn strong coolaid being consumed by some of the orange ones supporters. Does it make you blind as well as stupid? I love how anyone who is not a Trump fan is written off as intellectually challenged or a drug addict who has lost his marbles and is therefore not worthy to comment. Meanwhile back in delusion land Trump has done nothing wrong and is being persecuted by all and sundry for no reason. Yeah. Right.

Give me a doddering Biden over egomaniac Trump any time.

1. Never before where a sitting president has loss so many cases before the lower courts.

2. Both the State and part of Congress are suing to see Trump's tax/financial records and his family dealings.

3. His former lawyer, Cohen, is now serving his prison term in a NY prison and his friend, Epstein, was jailed for child pornography and subsequently hanged himself.

4. This type of absolute power challenge would never make it this far in Cambodia, Russia or China!!!

Are you a friend or a foe? You decide. How will the U.S Supreme Court decide?

Some of you are hijacking my post, politically lashing out, running your mouth all over various unrelated topics. In question is whether a most powerful leader in a DEMOCRATIC country 1) is immune from any liability of "reasonable suspicion" of wrongdoing/corruption, or 2) can simply ignore the powers vested in the people and Congress, the co-equal branch of the government.

I think the Chief Justice does not want to take side in a very politically charged environment and may rule "undecided"? Others may rule that the highest public trust position like that of the president must not be immune from "reasonable" inquiries and investigations. That means the records should be released. This is all about trust and confidence in a leader.

Trump lawyers arguments are weak against the rule of law and existing precedent that a sitting president is not immune from lawful subpoenas and criminal investigations:

Finally, while the president’s lawyers suggested that the subpoena could be delayed until after the president leaves office, New York’s lawyer emphasized that such a delay could prevent the state from bringing charges because of state statutes of limitations, and it could otherwise make it more difficult to prosecute crimes that pertain to the president. This was the same concern the court acknowledged in Jones when it refused to delay that case, reasoning that “delaying trial would increase the danger of prejudice resulting from the loss of evidence, including the inability of witnesses to recall specific facts, or the possible death of a party.”

In short, if the court applies its own precedent from Clinton v. Jones to the Vance case, it is clear that the president’s arguments should not carry the day. Multiple justices appointed by presidents of both parties seemed to understand that.

Despite the weight of the Jones precedent, it remains difficult to tell whether the court will side with Trump, giving him almost limitless authority to avoid lawful subpoenas, or with the New York district attorney, who is simply seeking to do his job of investigating criminal wrongdoing. It appeared at least on Tuesday, though, that multiple justices understood the potential disastrous consequences of a ruling in Trump’s favor, both with regard to the court’s prior precedents and to the rule of law itself.

american banks, british banks, stock exchanges, scammers manipulators and exploiters

bank is a 4-letter word
