BREAKING: Supreme Court DENIES Donald Trump's plea to keep his papers out of the hands of House committee investigating Jan. 6th insurrection at the Capitol

The apparent vote is 8-1. Only Justice Thomas would have granted Trump's plea.

If she is indicted, this useles man must resign from the USSC. A total disgrace to the Office he holds. Never did anything of note on the Supreme Court....except uphold the GOP agenda.

Thanks GWHB...the gift that keeps on giving. The best minority mind he could offer up was....Clarence Thomas?

from any case involving TFG. Ginni seems to be too closely involved with the insurrectionists.

Honestly surprised only one federalist society bought justice opposed this.

And it sets the road for all other subpoenas from the 1-6 committee to be abided by.

Clarence went to Holy Cross in Worcester - He was a couple of years ahead of me. Never involved with the issues that motivated the community, not in any inspirational way. Mike Harrington and the Berrigan Brother's were very vocal on campus and this was part of my lasting impression of the best in my school experiences. End the War / Feed the Poor....righteous stuff. Apparently, he learned nothing at Holy Cross.

Interesting Clarence Thomas is the only dissenting vote if true. His wife is implicated in supporting the coup. Maybe her name is in some of them.

The four pages weren't even before the Court of Appeals and were never the subject of a timely objection by Trump.

Trump never specifically asked for those 4 pages to be withheld. Those were set to be released UNLESS he filed another request for those docs.

All 3 justices who Trump thinks he owns vote against him again. You know his only concept remotely akin to justice involves quid pro quo so he must feel so betrayed...

It should be interesting!

How many emails were being concealed?

How many phone calls were made to the White House while Trump was celebrating the insurrection?

How many Congressmen and Senators will be exposed by these documents?

Maybe a Friday night drop is on schedule?

I'll bet he doesn't even listen to the arguments. He just votes the way a good fascist would vote.
