he still won't turn anything over.
And neither Barr nor Mnuchin will comply with the subpoenas.

(115,693 posts)It can't call out the troops or compel Congress or the president to obey, but relies on the executive and legislative branches to carry out its rulings. Most of the time Supreme Court decisions are obeyed, but sometimes they aren't, as in some of the school desegregation and school prayer decisions, which in some places were ignored for years.

(432 posts)The press keeps talking about associates .Deutsche bank has admitted to Russian money laundering.Just did not give up the names or the PACs.
Add that to what I believe was a few trillion thrown into the market before Covid even got here and then tell me they are better on the economy.

(15,100 posts)my question is even more global. How do you codify that the President is not allowed to defy SCOTUS?

(51,104 posts)Our system relies on people following the rules. Our present circumstances are a result of people willing to ignore the rules. The rest of us are left sputtering " They can't do that! It's illegal!"

(15,100 posts)The subpoenas were not issued to the Treasury Department, but to the Idiot-in-Chief's accounting firm and bank. I believe that they will not defy SCOTUS. I would guess that they want to stay in business.
