That stay is standard protocol. They have to decide whether theyre taking the case and if so, what they will rule. If they allow for the release of the documents, then they have essentially ruled without hearing the case. You cant un-release them and if they were to decide to rule in Trump's(or any other litigant's) favor, then the damage would be done and irreversible if they were released before a ruling was made.
On the subject of T's taxes, I've felt only a sense of peace and calm on the subject for several months now. And I've actually believed for a little while that they will be released sometime in the month of November. (That's just a premonition, but I think the astrology supports it. Hope so!)
If SCOTUS refuses to take up the case, or otherwise rules in favor of the lower court's opinion, then amen. And I personally feel that's what's going to happen. But worst case scenario and SCOTUS overrules the lower court, I'm still absolutely convinced the public will see those taxes eventually—and probably sooner rather than later. There will be a leak, something. They're coming out one way or another, and not the short version.
I can't remember whether I've ever posted about this here, but I did record it in the notes on my phone, which captures the date I typed it down. A screenshot of that may not be helpful to you for the site @jeanne-mayell, but I'm happy to share it with you if this does come about and it could be added to the "hits." :)
I keep hearing the song "Timber" by Ke$ha and Pit bull lately when reading this thread and the topic of T's taxes! Lol

As I watched LT.COL. Vindman read his statement this morning I couldn't help but notice the papers he was holding were shaking. I feel so sorry for these wonderful people who are so brave and yet get vilified by IQ45 and his minions.
Please send light to these folks who are testifying and trying to do the right thing for the country. I am making an effort before each round of hearings to send the witnesses light and protection. I am sure that this is difficult for all of them and their families even though it is the right thing to do.
It's entirely possible. The House brief is due at the SCOTUS on Nov 21. The court has a conference already scheduled for Nov 22. The conference is where they discuss cases and make decisions in private (no clerks). It's quite possible that they can deny the stay that has been requested. There's a SCOTUS calendar on line, and there's a blog which follows cases, scheduling, etc. This case can be followed in the blog here. It can be found on the SCOTUS site here.
Nixon and Clinton both lost their bids to keep their records requested from being released. Rumps biggest argument is that unlike those instances, where the requests came from Federal agencies, and in this case it's a state issue. Regardless, the SCOTUS ruled in both previous cases that the POTUS wasn't above the law, records needed for investigations of possible crimes should be produced. Aside from the jurisdiction distinction, Rump's only other claim is that this is partisan politics. I don't think that will hold up well. LOL
As for the hearings, it is going to backfire on those who think they can tear apart decent, loyal, and decorated US civil servants and Military officials. They took shots at Mueller, so I have no doubt they'll do so again to others. I'll be sending prayers and light.
As for Rump's health, I heard an interesting interview with Obama's former personal physician. He made some interesting points. First, as we've said before, there is a medical unit at the WH. They operate like an urgent care unit-they have x-ray, EKG, and the ability to do a proper physical on site. They may not have a lab, but they can draw blood to send. Doc's thinking neurological, and they needed equipment that isn't at the WH, like an MRI. He was at Walter Reed long enough to have one performed. It could have been necessary to distinguish between a TIA and a mini -stroke (my thought -not the docs). The doc did point out the slurring and searching for words, showing there is some underlying neurological issue-tho he didn't speculate on what that could be.
Thank goodness there's not a limit to edits on posts in the first few minutes! LOL How did I miss this yesterday? A judge denied Rump's filing to dismiss Summer Zervos's defamation suit. This clears the way for her suit against him to proceed, and he can be deposed by January 31!
