To be fair his fellow gangsters probably liked Capone, I can't say the same about Trump
Edit: Wrong court case.

Yeah this wasn't a blatant cover up of a successful Russian attack on the United States or anything
This is a better way to put it. Yes.
We're gonna see stuff that means stuff when you consider other stuff, but people expecting "TO: VLADDY PUTIN - AMOUNT: $1,000,000,000 RUBLES - FOR: ELECTION STUFF" are going to be disappointed lol
Highest court in the land, nowhere to appeal to now.
I know, the poor guy has wanted to release his returns for over four years now, but the mean ol' IRS won't let him. :( :( :(
What grounds could they possibly dissent on a private citizen having their tax records provided to a grand jury. 30% of this country really wants a monarchy. It's wild.
I'm pretty sure he's a soprano.
Anyway, get Trump's ass.
Looks like Thomas wrote that he dissents because he doesn't agree with the current precedent, and thinks it should be looked at again and revised. So, they had fucking nothing.
Unleash the flood.
The world deserves to see this. I am expecting him to screech and whine about it any way he can soonish.

As far as I can tell (IANAL,) there were no dissents to the order:
SCOTUS said:
Thomas and Alito did dissent in the original decision, but this is for the stay order.
Are you sure that is the tax returns case? Those dissents seem to be an elections related case dealing with Pennsylvania.
Those dissents are for different cases.
Mainstream reporting on legal issues is crap. There weren't any dissents.
I ALMOST would rather see him penniless on the street somewhere. It's more shameful to him to have his failures publicly exposed and what little actual money he has to be taken.
His tax returns aren't even going to be about where money came from, it's going to be how he valued properties to the state and feds then in turn lied about them to his creditors. He will be having people come from both ends for their money.... his bank loans based on faulty valuations that are due and his tax fraud based on faulty valuations that he will owe
Yup he has upward of a billion coming due in the next two years and we don't know who half of it belongs to. Throw in the fact there's only one bank left that'll even hold his money(no one will lend him money anymore) he's in deep trouble
Oh goddang it. No, I'm not sure. This is why I don't try to parse court decisions.
Yup and Duestche bank will be happy to start seizing his assets once that's defined
Worth remembering that's how they finally caught Al Capone. If hat's what lands him in jail for the rest of his days,it would be worth it.
Yeah I edited my post. The 7-2 was for a case from last year.
It's not about that, it's about his property and tying up his loans and collateral between his tax returns and Deutsch Bank.
I think I remember reading that. It's why rich people aren't audited as much, right?
Maybe that audit he keeps harping about was some sort of investigation. The audit is real. Using it as a reason to not release his returns is what was bullshit. Once he was elected, I'm sure that audit was put on hold and somehow interfered with.
The IRS budget was slashed way back around 2010 because of that tea party targeting "scandal." Someone else mentioned it was too much work and they are correct in a sense. Auditing the rich is much more labor intensive and that's exactly why Republicans have a vendetta against the IRS. Slashing their budget protects the rich.
If they were tampered with that's a multilevel crime in of itself and easy to trace.
It's hard to get excited for this at the moment. I'd rather just wait until something concrete comes from this that may result in a legitimate conviction of some kind.
Hence why he was so desperate to not become again an ordinary citizen!
And yet the court may still have the last laugh. Remember that the constitutionality of the ACA will probably be decided in 4-5 months (and probably the lower court ruling will be upheld.)
And while there's no abortion cases on the docket for this session, ACB's presence might get them on next year. Probably nothing as big as Alabama, but it wouldn't be a surprise to see South Carolina, and maybe Ohio's heartbeat bill.

Yeah, people likely know through the grapevine, but my understanding is that you can't use that information in legal proceedings if it isn't released. The first thing the defense would say is "those returns aren't public, how did you get them?" which is going to make the prosecutors look unreliable if they didn't get official copies.
I'm not a lawyer though.
or he wanted to be president for more than 2 terms.
He must be browsing plane tickets to Moscow on Expedia now.
