| Megathread: Supreme Court Rules on Subpoenas for President Donald Trump’s Financial Records Posted: 09 Jul 2020 07:31 AM PDT Today, the Supreme Court issued decisions for two highly anticipated cases involving subpoenas seeking President Trump's tax returns. The Chief Justice wrote for the Court in Trump v Vance, affirming the Second Circuit and rejecting the Government's position that, under Article II and the Supremacy Clause, the President was entitled to absolute immunity and a heightened standard for the issuance of a state criminal subpoenas. The case now goes back to the district court, where the Second Circuit permitted the Government to make alternative arguments. The vote was 5 in the majority (Roberts, Ginsburg, Breyer, Sotomayor, Kagan), 2 in concurrence with the decision (Gorsuch, Kavanaugh) and 2 in dissent (Thomas, Alito). The Chief Justice also wrote for the Court in Trump vs Mazars, vacating the lower court ruling affirming the Congressional subpoena and implementing a balancing test for the district court to consider in deciding whether to grant a Congressional subpoena, including: (1) whether the asserted legislative purpose warrants subpoenaing the President and his papers (ie. whether there are other sources that Congress could obtain this information from); (2) whether the scope of the subpoena is sufficiently narrow so that it is no broader than necessary to support Congress' legislative objective; (3) what the nature is of evidence Congress is offered to establish that a subpoena is necessary to advance a valid legislative agenda; and (4) what burden is imposed on the President, particularly since the subpoena originates from a rival branch of government that could use such subpoenas for institutional advantage. The vote was 7 in the majority (Roberts, Ginsburg, Breyer, Sotomayor, Kagan, Gorsuch, Kavanaugh) and 2 in dissent (Thomas, Alito).
