From Politico, “California’s new law requiring candidates’ tax returns may be aimed at Donald Trump, but its most consequential effects would likely be felt downballot if it survives a legal challenge.” This legal case absolutely fascinates me! My gut says SCOTUS will declare the California law unconstitutional even though they should not. California is not making an unreasonable request from candidates. They are not fundamentally changing the requirements of the Constitution to run for president (e.g., raising the minimum age to 50). Everyone, by federal law, is required to file tax returns, so there is no extra, undue burden to release them as a condition of being on the ballot. But I have no doubt the conservative Justices will side with traitor trump because they want to preserve conservativism rather than help states make sure people don’t elect a crook as president. This is a trump stupid America. Congratulations, morons! Elections have consequences and having a majority conservative SCOTUS that is less concerned about protecting people’s rights for the next 30 years is one of them. Welcome to stupid America!
