1st one up is the indian one. 5-4, Gorsuch with the liberals. Oklahoma is native American land.
 
Would that be the Congress case or the NY case? Based on his tweets this morning it sounds like he may have lost at least one of them.

I was going with both but we'll see what happens I guess. Maybe they'll allow it for NY and then Barr will shut that shit down. Giving Trump full cover.
 
The Court is UNANIMOUS in rejecting Trump’s argument that he is absolutely immune from state criminal grand jury subpoenas.
 
So Chump gets spanked by the SCOTUS on his tax returns and it's his own nominees that helped screw him?
 
My quick, quick, quick read:
Everyone in the country has to comply with legitimate Congressional subpoenas, but there's really no record to determine whether the interests of the congress were properly balanced with the executive's. So remand to get a better record.
 
More interesting to me was SCOTUS calling out Congress, and the US Government in general, in their ruling over the Oklahoma case. They basically defended the Native American tribe and told Congress that of they don't want to uphold their promise of a reservation in perpetuity to the tribe, to sh** or get off the pot. Instead of Congress dancing around by changing the reservation size and powers the tribe has, make it clear what they want.
 
Basically, the President is not absolutely immune from Congressional subpoenas. But they have defenses to raise, and none of the lower courts properly addressed them.
 
So, that means Congress still can't get them right? And if Barr shuts down the State prosecution Trump skates on the whole thing.
