The Supreme Court just rightly handed President Trump a temporary victory in his fight to keep his financial records away from the prying eyes of House Democrats, as Reuters reports:
“The U.S. Supreme Court on Friday agreed to hear President Donald Trump’s appeals in three separate cases to prevent his financial records, including tax returns, being handed over to Democratic-led House of Representatives committees and a New York prosecutor.
The Republican president is trying to block subpoenas for bank records, tax returns or other materials demanded by various Democratic-led House of Representatives committees investigating corruption or foreign meddling in the U.S. elections process. The House probes are not part of the Democratic-led impeachment proceedings against Trump over his dealings with Ukraine.

The court will hold oral arguments in March, with rulings due by the end of June.
BREAKING: The Supreme Court has agreed to hear three separate court cases involving demands for access to President Trump’s financial and tax records https://t.co/QCd1mTL4sR

Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance, a Democrat, is seeking Trump’s tax returns in a criminal investigation of the president, the Trump Organization and his family real estate business.

The cases are a test for how the justices view Trump’s arguments that the subpoenas are a threat to the presidency, on the one hand, and the need for lawmakers or prosecutors for information to pursue legislation or criminal investigations on the other.
One of the cases is Trump’s appeal of a lower court ruling allowing a New York grand jury to subpoena his accounting firm Mazars LLP for his records.
Trump’s attorneys said prosecutors could be encouraged to investigate a president to advance their careers or score political points if that subpoena is enforced.
Another case concerns a lower court decision in Washington that endorsed subpoenas issued by the Democratic-led House Oversight Committee to Mazars.
Trump’s lawyers say there was no legislative purpose for the subpoenas and that the aim was merely to dig for dirt on the president.

In the third case, the justices will review a lower court ruling allowing the enforcement of separate House committee subpoenas targeting Trump-related financial records from Deutsche Bank AG and Capital One Financial Corp .
The court on Friday extended its hold on the lower court ruling, which it had temporarily blocked last week.”
We believe that this was the right decision.
Democrats are conducting an illegitimate witch hunt against this President.

They simply want Trump’s financial records to continue their fruitless search for a crime.
Wow, look President Trump is Using the Third Branch of government. Dems greedly want to see this information so they can say, “look”. But it’s ok to seal the education records of a former President, which could have proved he was not a student, but a “foreign student”?
Good for the Supreme Court. Good for our President. And by the way there House Dems, your obstruction of Congress theory just flew out the window. Oh well, flimsy case at best and disgraceful. Using impeachment as a tool to try to sway an election? Gee Schiffy, interference didn’t work in 2016 and Hiliary went down HARD, now you are trying interference by this dictatorial way of using impeachment. Gee you must be so proud, NOT!
GOD BLESS PRESIDENT TRUMP! GOD BLESS THE USA!
Democrats have proven beyond doubt that they are not fit to lead our country. When, as a political body, they voice impeachment against a duly elected president, form the very beginning of his term, with no evidence of a crime, and proceed to use every means available to them as congressional members to pursue his removal, they are undoubtedly not fit to lead.

Did any of these record “requests” or demands relate to a credibly identified crime? If not, the characterization of these fishing expeditions as “witch hunts” seems appropriate.
I know The Supreme Court already ruled about the Second Amendment but Sanctuary States don’t care. Their main concern is NOT the Constitution but the Globalist agenda.

WAY TO GO WEST MILFORD! Down here they say that they are not suppressing gun rights, but for some reason, the applications that ran out haven’t been reprinted yet so lots of waiting. Also some towns take a long time looking into an application. And try to get the right to carry, lol.
Shame that it has to be like this in America but then again if these Globalists can make a sanctuary for their quid pro quo illegals, We the People can make Sanctuary with our GOD GIVEN rights to protect ourselves and our families. And it’s mostly from the quid pro quo illegals along with the “give them a needle” to help their drug problems.
GOD BLESS PRESIDENT TRUMP! GOD BLESS THE USA!
Democrats have proven beyond doubt that their party is a criminal, CORRUPT and MALIGN INSTITUTION, A GANGSTER/MAFIA organization, disguised as a political party,
