From the SCOTUS arguments so far: The four liberals will vote consistent with Nixon v. US and Clinton v. Jones that the subpoenas are valid

Not 100% clear exactly on what grounds the other 5 will vote for Trump, though it's relatively clear they will.

In any case it will not be a unanimous outcome unlike Nixon and Clinton, which shows where we are as a nation.

Well, Jovian's reply to this was prescient -- (link*) - znufrii, silly old man May 12, 09:18 [Backboard] 6
- I'll eat crow soon on this case though, it's not clear why they took the case yet, but it seems like they will uphold some version of this power - JackDawson May 12, 09:21 5
  - Yes, the tea readers seem to think Roberts will split the baby somehow. -- nm - Reagen May 12, 09:22 4
    - The Roberts tea leaders are, sorry, complete morons -- nm - JackDawson May 12, 09:24
    - Are you talking about the SEC v. Liu case? Or the subpoenas? In the Liu case, all 8 that spoke seemed to favor the SEC from a little to a lot -- nm - JackDawson May 12, 09:23 2
      - I'm talking about the taxes case. - Reagen May 12, 09:26 1
        
        It’s certainly possible. Gorsuch and Roberts are playing both sides, Kavanaugh Thomas and Alito are not -- nm - JackDawson May 12, 09:28
This was never in doubt. I just hope Democrats beat the Supreme Court talking point to death over the next few months. -- nm - MDH May 12, 09:14 5
- This is horrible but it seems like only RBG dying in late October would wake liberals up to this -- nm - JackDawson May 12, 09:15 1
  - I disagree. - Spawn May 12, 09:16
- HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA -- nm - JackDawson May 12, 09:14 2
  - Oh I know they won’t. But I’m trying to be hopeful and positive! -- nm - MDH May 12, 09:15 1
    - Hopeful and positive is here ...............................>>>>>>>>>>>>>> dreaming is somewhere over there -- nm - JackDawson May 12, 09:17
We are fucked. -- nm - The Nation May 12, 09:14
