Supreme Slap 和更多 — #NebDems 新闻

President Trump has had some bad days of late.

Thursday might have been the worst yet, as the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that New York prosecutors can access Trump’s tax returns and other records as part of a probe into alleged shady financial deals by the Trump Organization.

Trump, predictably, went berserk on his electric Twitter machine, howling about “PRESIDENTIAL HARASSMENT!” and “PROSECUTORIAL MISCONDUCT!

Esquire’s Charles Pierce, like many, took great delight in the ruling.

The Supreme Court on Thursday did what most people expected it to do on the matter of El Caudillo del Mar-a-Lago’s financial records. It denied Congress’s attempt to subpoena the material, but it did rule that New York County DA Cyrus Vance, Jr. one day could go gamboling through the vast vista of scams and grifts and frauds likely contained therein. Indeed, in ruling in Vance’s favor, Chief Justice Roberts wrote in the Court’s unanimous opinion on that point:

“No citizen, not even the president, is categorically above the common duty to produce evidence when called upon in a criminal proceeding,” Roberts wrote.

This is a major statement on presidential power and, in that regard, it can rank with US v. Nixon and Jones v. Clinton. And hooray for that.

Just 116 days until the November election. Tick Toc.

In case you missed it, the NDP revealed on Thursday that the Nebraska Republican Party and several GOP state senators and legislative candidates have been caught playing hide-the-ball regarding more than $112,000 in contributions from the party.

The Nebraska Accountability and Disclosure Commission on July 1 sent a letter to the Nebraska GOP questioning the party’s reporting of the contributions as “in-kind” — meaning they were made in coordination with the candidates and had to be reported by the campaigns under state law.
