The Supreme Court has halted a lower court ruling that granted the Committee on Oversight and Reform access to President Trump’s tax returns. However, that’s not necessarily the lede.
The issue at stake is whether the legislative branch can penetrate the constitutional firewall which exists within the separation of powers. The House issued a subpoena in February for eight years of the president’s tax returns, which the Committee then later argued was part of the September House impeachment investigation.
All of the surrounding court rulings are predicated on accepting a constitutional process for an official impeachment investigation is underway. However, the Supreme Court will hear arguments that will likely challenge that assertion. To wit, within the buried lede to the background issue we find this paragraph:
On Monday, Douglas Letter, general counsel for the House Committee on Oversight and Reform, had sent a letter to the court, agreeing to a brief 10-day stay while the parties filed their court papers debating the need for an injunction while the case is being considered. (link)
The general counsel for the House, Doug Letter, knows that a SCOTUS ruling against the House endeavor could severely damage the legal and constitutional framework of the entire impeachment enterprise. Therefore it is in Speaker Pelosi’s best interests to instruct Doug Letter to defer or stall a SCOTUS review until the impeachment crew has framed their partisan impeachment process.
Remember, the Supreme Court has not yet ruled on any ancillary case that touches upon the validity of the House impeachment process.
There is an important granular aspect to the validity of the House impeachment process that few are paying attention to. The Supreme Court has not ruled on any case that touches the impeachment “inquiry”. The House of Representatives does not want the Supreme Court to hear any case that touches on the impeachment “inquiry”.
In addition to the Trump Tax Case, there is another case from the HJC where they are attempting to use the framework of a constitutional impeachment process as the underlying authority for their endeavors. That case surrounds the Grand Jury (6e) material from the Mueller investigation.
If the House loses the Tax case in SCOTUS or the HJC case in the DC Appellate Court, or SCOTUS, it means there is no constitutional foundation recognized to the “impeachment inquiry.”
Without the constitutional recognition of the judicial branch then: (a) Pelosi/Lawfare have to restart the process with a genuine House vote; or (b) the ongoing impeachment process will have no recognized constitutional standing; and (c) the Senate could ignore any House impeachment vote, cast without recognized constitutional standing.
That is why Nancy Pelosi and Doug Letter do not want SCOTUS to weigh in.
BACKSTORY to HJC case: On October 25th DC Judge Beryl Howell granted the House Judiciary Committee (HJC) request for legal authority to receive 6e grand jury material underlying the Mueller report.
Additionally, and most importantly, within the Howell decision she officially recognized the HJC effort was predicated on a constitutional impeachment process. In essence Howell’s opinion granted the HJC with “judicial enforcement authority.”
The DOJ moved to appeal the decision and requested a “stay” pending appeal. Judge Howell rejected the DOJ “stay” motion.
The DOJ then appealed to the DC Court of Appeals. A panel of three judges issued an “administrative stay”, blocking enforcement of the Howell ruling while the appeal was reviewed. The DC Appellate Court heard arguments within the appeal.
Right now; and considering the House voted on a ‘resolution’ to support Nancy Pelosi’s unilaterally decreed “impeachment inquiry”; and due to the lack of structural specifics within the constitution surrounding the impeachment process; I would put the odds at 50/50 the House Judiciary Committee could win this case based on lower court rulings.
It is critical that AG Bill Barr sends his best constitutional lawyers to defend the interests of the executive branch. The DOJ has a solid constitutional argument to make; and if they end up losing the decision the verbal arguments will be a key factor in whether the Supreme Court would take up the issue (after en banc appeal exhausted).
The HJC objective is simple. They seek judicial enforcement authority for their subpoenas so their targets cannot legally refuse to give testimony; and by extension the constitutional premise of the House process is affirmed.
The premise for both fronts: (1) document subpoena 6e material, and (2) testimony from White House Counsel Don McGahn, is predicated on penetrating a constitutional firewall that exists within the separation of powers.
Under existing SCOTUS precedent, the White House can be compelled to deliver Executive Branch documents and testimony so long as an official legislative branch impeachment process is underway.
Judge Beryl Howell was the first person in the judicial branch to recognize and accept the HJC position that such an official impeachment process was ongoing. At the heart of this appeal is that recognition.
If the DOJ can successfully argue the House has not followed the traditional and constitutional process that authorizes impeachment investigation; and allows the HJC to penetrate the separation of power firewall; it will be a major blow to the Lawfare scheme.
A ruling in favor of the DOJ would invalidate the narrative of the House.
A ruling in favor of the DOJ would also allow the Senate to dismiss any results from Schiff and Nadler’s investigation, because their process would not be predicated on constitutional provisions for impeachment.
In short, this is a pretty important ruling.
After AG Barr’s speech about how the Judiciary and Legislative Branches of government are attacking relentlessly the Executive Branch, maybe AG Barr himself should argue this case before the SCOTUS.
At least we know he is passionate about this issue.

I wonder if the impeachment inquiry was designed to be an inoculation against negative impact of the reports that are due. It was timed to be disrupted by the reports being published officially at a point where a lot of reasonable doubt was cast at POTUS. That way, they could argue the reports were just a diversion by POTUS to get attention off the inquiry. Look at all the energy Maria B spent saying that the reports were imminent. It all got deep into the weeds after that, it seems (Maria’s a white hat).
The tax release case fits, in that scenario, only because it is meant to cast dispersion in POTUS’s direction. There’s no real legal ‘need to know’ basis to it. Lawfare.
So the good guys decide to draw the inquiry out and Schiff gets overextended and gives the good guys a lot of attack vectors on his flank. Schiff wants to double down, but the air’s out of the balloon at this point already, so what does Schiff do for 3 more weeks?
If going back to the Mueller investigation (POTUS lied to Mueller) is any indication, it seem to me they shot their load completely and are at the throwing their empty guns at POTUS stage. When the moderates finally get a ggod look behind the curtain it will get ugly.

We see why appointing so many judges has been so important.

The ONLY stumbling block has been the supreme court and that has been a close run thing (yeah I’m looking at you Roberts, you dirty bastard).
Forget everything else, unless the courts are brought under control, America will eventually become a land of lawless ruling classes. The dirtiest and meanest will crush all opposition.

President Trump has positively affected those stats in his short 34 months on the job. Per a Nov. 8 Daily Caller article he has appointed more Circuit court judges than any other president.
“President Donald Trump has appointed more judges in less than three years to the circuit courts than any of his two-term predecessors going back to Ronald Reagan.
The Senate confirmed William Nardini, on Thursday, to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit, making 25% of circuit court judges Trump appointees. That was the president’s 45th pick, higher than the number of judges appointed by all presidents from Reagan to Obama,”
Ref: https://dailycaller.com/2019/11/08/donald-trump-circuit-court-judges/
As of this evening, Wikipedia credits President Trump with 112 District Court judges (or 25% of all circuit court judges) and 46 Courts of Appeals judges as of November 14, 2019.

Speaking of SCOTUS, let’s face it, Justice Ginsburg isn’t getting any younger…
With impeachment an issue that will presumably wind up on the high court’s docket, it effectively blocks PDJT from having his nomination, if it becomes necessary, confirmed before the end of his first term.
I feel very strongly that the seat held by Justice Scalia is what propelled then citizen Trump over the top in 2016, never Trumpers held their noses and pulled the lever for him solely because of the vacant seat.

Something is missing here.
On the tax return question, it seems that would be independent of whether an impeachment process is recognized or not.
I don’t think any court is going to suggest that an impeachment process gives the House access to material irrelevant to the impeachment articles, which would need to be defined. There is no predicate for the tax returns in the Ukraine issue, and likewise there is no predicate for the tax returns in a contemplated obstruction article.
Further, the house has argued that they want them for legislative purposes. So to change directions and say they are for impeachment, without drawing a direct line on how they relate to the impeachment investigation items, would be transparently disingenuous, and likely rejected.
I can’t imagine that the SCOTUS will say opening an inquiry gives you access to anything and everything. I think they will uphold the need for well-founded predicates — in the interest of due process — for material that would need to be produced. The tax returns don’t qualify.

Ristvan, thank you for your continuing wonderful commentary. A commenter referred to your “comment near bottom of the previous page” and I went searching with my ancient iPhone 4.
I saw at the bottom of your comment about maladministration changed to “high crimes and misdemeanors”, “The phrase was borrowed from prior British law, has a specific set of meanings, and DOES NOT allow political impeachment.”
While my below comment is off specific topic, I find historic British law so wonderful for our own law and constitution. Here, I refer specifically to our 2nd amendment as compared to the “1689 British Bill of Rights”.
Using the https://avalon.law.yale.edu/17th_century/england.asp there is this dandy little piece………”That the subjects which are Protestants may have arms for their defence suitable to their conditions and as allowed by law;”
I use this all the time in any 2nd amendment discussion. I note the similarities AND differences. 1689 says “subjects which are Protestants”, ours makes no distinction, “the people” and most importantly, 1689 says, “as allowed by law”, ours says, “shall not be infringed”. Also, “subjects” are specific individuals, not a group of people.
The 1689 British Bill of Rights was less than 100 years old. Many of our founding fathers were in London frequently and knew very well this document. They specifically changed the British right to mean individuals and changed “as allowed by law” to “shall not be infringed”.
Absolutely no confusion of meaning, background, or source document.
