Don’t assume they automatically ruling in his favor...Bush and trump put 4 of these people on the court. We already know that answer.
Here's how it's going to go down:Don’t assume they automatically ruling in his favor...
See...this is what I was talking about earlierIf the Supreme Court and the rest of the judiciary doesn't convince the left (left-leaning moderates & progressives) to vote for whoever is going to be the Democratic nominee. Then NOTHING will and we might as well give this country up to the Republicans.
A Diverse America Votes to Uphold the Constitution; A Largely Male White America Votes to Abrogate It

The House Judiciary Committee just voted to send two articles of impeachment against Donald Trump to the full House.
The entire vote took just minutes. But it said so much about the state of America today.
It will forever be portrayed as a party line vote, with 23 Democrats in favor, and 17 Republicans against. But it was also a tribute to the degree to which polarization in America today pivots on issues of diversity.
The Democrats who voted in favor included 11 women, and 13 Latinx and people of color (Ted Lieu missed the vote recovering from a heart procedure). Three (plus Lieu) are immigrants. One is gay. These Democrats voted to uphold the Constitution a bunch of white men, several of them owners of African-American slaves, wrote hundreds of years ago.
The Republicans who voted against were all white. Just two were women. These Republicans voted to permit a racist white male President to cheat to get reelected in violation of the rule of law.
This is about a clash between the rising America and the past. And it’s unclear who will win this battle for America. But the stakes are clear.
I don’t know enough about the laws, but if there is nothing in actual legal language that says the president has to release their taxes, then Roberts will vote he doesn’t have to, if there is actual specific language that says he has to, he will rule he has to. From what I have seen from the legal experts, is that Roberts is not one for “precedence” when making his rulings. To be perfectly honest, imho, I think if anything, if he has any pressure on him at all, which I don’t believe he does, it is his conscience and the perception of his legacy. I truly wish we weren’t in this position because it is stressful as fukk, but this fukkface isn’t going away anytime soon, and we need to be ready to fukk shyt up (through peaceful means, of course).Here's how it's going to go down:
NO to releasing Trump's taxes
*Alito
*Kavanaugh
*Thomas
*Gorsuch
YES to releasing Trump's taxes
*Ginsburg
*Breyer
*Sotomayor
*Kagan
The only person who I'm not 100% sure about is Chief Justice Roberts. Right now, I lean towards him voting no but he could end up voting yes.
