These rulings mean that Trump's tax returns will not be released anytime soon. But they affirm the principle that no one, even the president, is above the law. The president is subject to investigation. Particularly important given Trump's claims that his "authority is total." — PolitiTweet.org

What is striking about these tweets is the president isn't willing to take the tax return victory. He hoped that SCOTUS would shut down the case, affirming his own view that as president a different standard should be applied to him. That is not what happened here. — PolitiTweet.org
