3. Thank you, RBG!!! Rub RapeyBrett's nose in it...

...after all, he was one of the chief legal architects for the Clinton impeachment.

[NoMoreRepugs]

12. RBG vs littlebretC is a mismatch of galactic proportions.

[Wounded Bear]

4. Fighting the good fight...

[kairos12]

5. That will leave a mark.

[Mr. Ected]

6. Silly Justice Ginsburg, don't you know?

Supreme Court precedents don't apply to Republicans!

It's right there in the Constitution, next to "Obamagate".

There's nothing just about GOP justice.

[SergeStorms]

26. It's the old....

IOKIYAR. Pronounced: EYE-OKIE-YAR It's OK If You're A Republican

8. Then bring up Nixon.

He turned over the WH tapes minus 14 minutes, but it was all incriminating anyway. The Dipshit and his advisors know this but won't admit it.

9. Wherer can you listen to the hearing? nt

16. What was the response?

How did The Orange One's lawyer answer?

[maxsolomon]

17. Just a guess:

they lied.

[lastlib]

27. or spewed irrelevant bullshit....

[gab13by13]

18. I hate to say this,

but I think Trump's lawyer is doing a better job that the House lawyer. I have a bad feeling about this.

[LenaBaby61]

20. "I think Trump's lawyer is doing a better job than the House lawyer."

The House lawyer arguing the case for fat ass to turn over his taxes to Congress could be Clarence Darrow, but let's not forget that the High Court is still 5-4 putin-leaning thanks to Evil MoscowMitch. I have the same sinking feeling that you do that this ruling will be going fat asses way

[bigtree]

21. always hard to tell from the questioning

...I think the institutionalists like Roberts will consider deeply how their vote will enable or effect the incoming Democratic administration.

19. Awesome

Unfortunately, the other assholes do not care.

[Kablooie]

24. Republicans could easily defend their position...

Whitewater was different because the Clintons were criminals.
The fact they never found any criminality just means they were very good at hiding it.
So there!

And then the Republican has to walk away as fast as possible to avoid responses.

[yellowcanine]

25. How indeed, RBG? She cuts to the chase. Boom!

[SunSeeker]

28. That's a Ginsburn!

[UTUSN]

29. K&R

[saidsimplesimon]

30. Thank you, Justice Ginsburg

She stands for the "rule of law" in a lawless presidential administration. I respect her, and wish she was my surrogate mother so that I could hug her.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

31. She's gonna make Justice Beer Bong Weenie Waver mad...

[Linda Ed]

32. A bad day for trump is a great day for me!

Absolute immunity isn’t a thing. This should be an absolutely scathing 9-0 decision from SCOTUS. I'm wondering if enough SC Justices will think of their legacy, immunity from retribution, and their country - and make the correct call here... Be prepared for the 3 am rage tweets....

Yet a week from now he will still be in power all of his cronies will still be committing crimes and nothing will have changed.

They will delay ruling - late summer.

[whistler162]

33. Hmmmm....

[wendyb-NC]

34. Thank you, Justice Ginsburg.

[MissMillie]

35. On RBG's worst day

She's better than all five conservative SCOTUS justices added together.

[Vinca]

36. That was so interesting to listen to. I've never heard a SCOTUS case before.

One thing that surprised me was how brief it was. I don't know what I expected, but I guess I thought it would be a day long affair. In any case, it was hard to detect much sympathy for the Trump position from anyone. If they decide for Trump, after all, they would be telling the world the Supremes were wrong on Watergate, Jones and Whitewater and that the founders were wrong when they decided to have a president and not a king.
