Trump lawyers say they'll fight subpoena for president's tax returns

President Trump intends to fight a subpoena for his tax returns and financial records from the Manhattan district attorney after the Supreme Court rejected his claim that he's immune to criminal investigation, the president's lawyers told a judge on Wednesday.

In a status report filed with a federal district court in New York, Trump's legal team said it has other objections to the district attorney's subpoena aside from the one struck down by the Supreme Court earlier this month.

The move will surely draw out the proceedings in the lower court, and the president's attorneys made clear that they intend to raise issues about whether District Attorney Cyrus Vance's subpoenas are overly broad or relevant to a legitimate investigation. They argued that the case requires the two parties to develop a more thorough factual record.

and this one is from the House..

House Democrats ask Supreme Court to speed things up in Trump financial docs cases

The House of Representatives asked the Supreme Court late Monday night to move faster so it can begin a renewed attempt to obtain documents from President Donald Trump's financial firms.

The court ruled Thursday that House committees could seek the documents, but it sent the case to a lower court to further review the subpoenas.

However, since judgments are not normally issued until 25 days after the Supreme Court ruling comes down, that limits the amount of time the House has to go back through the lower courts. Monday's motion asks the court to cut the 25 days short and accelerate the process.

Speed is of the essence, House lawyer Doug Letter wrote, because the current subpoenas die when Congress ends in January.

6. And there it is. Just what I guessed

“...whether District Attorney Cyrus Vance's subpoenas are overly broad...”

And they will nit and pick on that for months. If they are looking for “this” then they don’t get “that”. They will call anything else an unconstitutional fishing expedition.

And justice gets screwed again.

4. We're talking the SCOTUS and not the state court, right...?

Are they even still in session? I thought they issued all their decisions and are now adjourned until October.

7. Which Supreme Court?

The trial court in NY?

9. We all need to study "A Reporter's GuideTo Supreme CourtProcedure For Applications"

Which is an explanation of the various requests to and responses by SCOTUS.

A Reporter’s Guide To Supreme Court Procedure For Applications

An application is a request for emergency action addressed to an individual Justice. Although most applications involve routine matters such as requests for extensions of the time limit for filing papers, some—such as late night applications for a stay of execution or a restraining order in a dramatic case—draw the attention of reporters. These newsworthy applications usually concern an effort to buy time, to maintain the status quo—to stay the implementation of a lower court order — pending final action by this Court (or under certain circumstances, a lower court).

Applications are addressed to a specific Justice, according to federal judicial circuit. The United States is divided into 13 federal circuits, with each Jus-tice assigned to a specific circuit or circuits (see page 19).

Case law has established four general criteria that the applicant normally must satisfy in order for the Court to grant a stay. They are:

1.that there is a “reasonable probability” that four Justices will grant certiorari, or agree to review the merits of the case;
2. that there is a “fair prospect” that a majority of the Court will conclude upon review that the decision below on the merits was erroneous;
3. that irreparable harm will result from the denial of the stay;
4. finally, in a close case, the Circuit Justice may find it appropriate to balance the equities, by exploring the relative harms to the applicant and respondent, as well as the interests of the pub-lic at large.
