"Rejecting a heightened need standard does not leave Presidents with 'no real protection.' To start, a President may avail himself of the same protections available to every other citizen."

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

- 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
