That can’t be right. I’m pretty sure I was told the President was above the law. -- nm - Mop Jul 9, 07:14
(7-2 - Kavanaugh and Gorsuch concurred on different grounds--LOL. They knew what it woudl look like) -- nm - JackDawson Jul 9, 07:12 1
- They can read polls like everyone else - "Do we want this to extend to President Biden?" -- nm - Reagen Jul 9, 07:52
Called it! ;-) -- nm - Marquis de Krusty Jul 9, 07:12 15
- Outcome uncertain--the president may attack the subpoena on breathness or relevance grounds. but there is no categorical bar to the subpoena -- nm - JackDawson Jul 9, 07:13 14
  - I don't know what this means, can you ELI5? - Marquis de Krusty Jul 9, 07:15 13
    - Trump said the Constitution prohibits States from subpoenaing a sitting president, period. SCOTUS Said: Nah, wrong. He can still attack the subpoena - JackDawson Jul 9, 07:17 1
      - Thanks! -- nm - Marquis de Krusty Jul 9, 07:19
    - He could still go back argue that *this* subpoena is invalid for reasons, instead of arguing that *any* subpoena is invalid because the constitution. -- nm - znufrii, silly old man Jul 9, 07:17
    - It got remanded back down for consideration but the President can't claim absolute immunity because he's President. - spamlet Jul 9, 07:17 9
      - What happens now? What is the lower court being asked to consider? Whether to allow Vance to subpoena the president? -- nm - Marquis de Krusty Jul 9, 07:18 3
        
        So Vance goes back to court and this plays out for many more months. -- nm - Marquis de Krusty Jul 9, 07:20 2
        
        My instinct, as stated below, is that this will not take that long to play out. But, the grand jury subpoena and the materials obtained are protected - JackDawson Jul 9, 07:23 1
        
        I didn't expect to see his returns but I'm happy to see Trump squirm and have to answer to the law. -- nm - Marquis de Krusty Jul 9, 07:27
      - more - spamlet Jul 9, 07:17 4
        
        (If I'm right about the below, I expect Alito will ahve said so--but haven't gotten there) -- nm - JackDawson Jul 9, 07:20
        
        Those are all nice statements but given how the litigation has proceeded and the fact that this is a grand jury subpoena, I'm not sure what protection - JackDawson Jul 9, 07:18 2
        
        I have no idea on that. Just quoting the case :) -- nm - spamlet Jul 9, 07:20 1
        
        Yeah I mean scotusblog is posting those choice paragraphs without much analysis of them (they will post it later) -- nm - JackDawson Jul 9, 07:24
nice. "Article II and the Supremacy Clause do not categorically preclude, or require a heightened standard for, the issuance of a state criminal subpoena to a sitting President." -- nm* - the ice Jul 9, 07:11
