Washington (CNN)The Supreme Court could now decide as early as Wednesday afternoon whether an unnamed foreign-owned company will have to pay daily fines for avoiding a grand jury subpoena related to Robert Mueller's special counsel investigation.

The company submitted a reply under seal to the Supreme Court earlier today, following written arguments it and the Justice Department made last week.

The filing Wednesday tees up a vote by the full Supreme Court.

The company has been trying to avoid a subpoena from a DC-based grand jury, and faced court-imposed fines for every day it did not turn over information.

Too late for anything this afternoon, but hopefully the Court will rule on Mueller's side very soon.

1. Trump appointees should recuse themselves

so Kavanaugh and Gorsuch should not be part of this

4. I have been informed that no matter how far they have to reach outside of the

law or the norms to help rump and the GOP continue to destroy America that it really is just a difference of opinion about the law.

I dont agree mind you, but that is what I have been told.



I hope my anger and your concern is for naught.

2. Color me a skeptic of judicial integrity

but then I have little faith that rule of law will ever be respected in this nation again or that these trans-national criminal organizations will ever face justice. I sincerely hope that I am wrong.

3. I've got a bad feeling about this.

6. So......corporations are people if they pay politicians

But when a judge fines you , you are suddenly just a company. No one is above the law
