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

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

Ginni must have his balls in a glass jar for safe-keeping.

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

(11,343 posts)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.

(412 posts)Use affirmative action programs to get where he is at but now rules against those for other minorities. Complete hypocrite

(24,451 posts)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.

(412 posts)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.

(42,693 posts)The four pages weren't even before the Court of Appeals and were never the subject of a timely objection by Trump.
happy to be wrong

(51,078 posts)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.
jcgoldie
(11,631 posts)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...

(111,078 posts)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?
