I don’t see that happening. Think about it. If he forces the executive branch to turn over material, you can’t take the material back. Any follow on appeals would be meaningless.

You appear to be unclear on the details of the case. The subpoena is to Mazars, not to Trump or the administration.

The GOP used these same powers to get information from Fusion GPS’s bank in Jan 2018.

We will see how this plays out.

Yeah, the one who thought he could say when congress was in session or not and could murder US citizens without due process. That constitutional law expert.

Obama is a self-proclaimed constitutional law expert (a legend in his own mind) . Turley is a widely recognized constitutional law expert.

The key point is this isn’t some magic that would change anything.

DEMs still seem to be under some deluded impression that the new DEM majority in the House can snap their fingers and the Executive branch is compelled to jump when they say jump.

We’ve seen this same kind of pushback from the executive branch to congressional requests and subpoenas throughout history. We are seeing it in this administration and we will see it in the next administration.

Please Dont Stop!! LOL. Did I steal somebody’s opportunity to say that??

Nothing has changed with the Mazar ruling. The WH will still continue to fight tooth and nail. They will win some and they will lose some.

My prediction is that leaked one-sided information will hit the MSM within hours of DEMs obtaining the records. The intention was never oversight and the Obama appointed Judge all but conceded that point.

In this particular case, it sounds like they are likely to lose but plan to proceed anyway. Why would they do that if not for political gain?

The abortion laws passed don’t have a chance to pass constitutionality yet the stupid states are passing them left and right.

They are attempting to force the SCOTUS to revisit Roe vs Wade. Were that to happen, my prediction is that Roe vs Wade will stand in a lopsided vote; Something like 8-1 or 7-2.

So why are they even trying, Roberts will never overturn Roe.

No nay never.

Don’t they realize that or are they just pandering to the stupid for votes.

Everything now has a political calculation, peek on both sides.

They lost and now will appeal to DC and they will lose there, then It’s up to SCOTUS.

I believe Roberts and Kavanaugh will not overturn Roe. Gorsuch maybe. I believe Thomas might be the only reliable vote to overturn.

In the case of the States, I think they believe this might be their best shot. I don’t believe it is for votes, I think it is because they believe they might actually win.

They can think anything they want. It’s a loss.

Mehta has already allowed the material to be released. Any appeal would be meaningless, as the horse is already out of the barn. It would serve no useful purpose.

One of our rare agreements.

Except the judge didn’t grant the administrations request to stay the order…
