    When are they supposed to announce a decision?

    Depends on how long it takes to set up the Zoom call between Gorsuch, Kav-bro, Turtle and the PremaDonald.

    So they’re going to say Trump is exempt but President Biden will not be.

    Justice roberts claims they aren't partisan, but odd that there is such a big difference when it's a republican now versus a Democrat then...

    This should be an easy case that the Constitution grants Congress powers of oversight and that a law clearly states that the Congress has subpoena powers. After Bush v Gore who knows...

    Also it wouldn't surprise me if a ruling was delayed until after the election. Roberts doesn't like a lot of attention on the court and no matter what the ruling is he would probably not want it to affect the election.

    Looks like the republican supreme court will have another case to defend trump... giving roberts another chance to prove his statement that the courts aren't partisan...

    Appeals court greenlights emoluments suit against Trump
    The president will need relief from the Supreme Court to block inquiries into foreign patronage of his D.C. hotel.

    How easily trump will lie in any interview... "old days"? What, you mean as opposed to over 30 years ago? Since every president since Nixon has. And Nixon did in response in order to prove he wasn't a "crook." And where there is no law requiring a president releasing their tax returns to the public... there is a law requiring he provide it to Congress.
