The political zealotry of the federal judge who ordered ten years’ worth of Donald Trump’s financial records be turned over to the House Oversight and Reform Committee chaired by Elijah Cummings has been revealed with a highly unusual provision of his order. (snip) The remedy for potential political bias in a federal judge’s ruling consists of the appeals process, with the US Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia and ultimately the Supreme Court able to reverse such a decision. But Judge Mehta’s order forbids this

I'm getting really tired of people with brown faces working against the President when THERE IS NO CRIME HERE. First Justin Amash screaming for impeachment now this Indian joker. Elijah Cummings has always been a waste of Oxygen. All of you, go home.

FTA: "I wonder how many Democrats have thought through the precedents being established here?"
DimoKKKraps don't need to think! If a similar ruling were issued against a dim, they would just throw a tantrum- duly "seriously" reported in the driveby media- so that there's one ruling for a Republican and the opposite for a dimoKKKrap. Ad hoc justice for all! The Kangaroo Kourt don't issue no stays for no Republicans!
When the dims were operating the KKK, did they grant any stays to black people? Did they worry about precedent (fairness)? No, they did what they wanted and took what they wanted and fought about the results of their actions when they got to that bridge.

The Senate should immediately subpoena allthe judges tax returns for the last 10 years and any family memebers' returns as well. The Senate has oversight responsibilities over both the Executive and Judical branch. Time to start using it.

President Trump is the constitutionality elected President of the USA. This judge, essentially appointed by the former President of the opposing political party that lost the presidential election is a person of foreign origin and as such is constitutionally ineligible to ever be elected President of the USA. There certainly appears to be a defect in the USA Constitution if such a person has the power to tell the duly elected President what he must do?

The executive isn't at the beck and call of the judiciary. Appeal. Shame the pubbies in congress don't have President Trump's back. But we're taking names and watching who says and does what. They seem to think we won't remember. That's the only explanation for their behavior.

Wouldn't this be an obvious recusal situation? But then, he is a democrat.

Doesn't matter if they're swinging hammers at a bus stop in Minneapolis or tapping gavels in federal court. It's all the same and now we're really seeing the hell of it.

Just once I would like to see the higher court overturn the incorrect verdict and publicly admonish the lower court judge who forgot their constitutional duty when rendering their foolish verdict.

Consider this: The appeals court doesn't rule within the seven day period...and Trump still says "No" to the demand... Cummings then screams, with the usual Democrat Impeachment Choir, and here we go again with an "impeachable" act. The media has another toy to play with. This stuff is no accident.

Thank you, Mr. Lifsom, for bringing this (the donation) to light.
The lamestream media certainly will NOT be reporting this!
Another win for The American Thinker!

Actually, there are no precedents being established here. This judge is just a District Court (trial) judge. He can deny the stay but the Appellate Court can grant it (and probably will). So can the Supreme Court (if they don't). I seriously doubt that Congress has investigative powers that exceed those of federal prosecutors. Presidents still have rights of due process. This obviously biased judge will not have the last word on this.

The fact that his order is self-executing is meaningless if the papers are not turned over. Once the appeal is filed, the judge will lose jurisdiction to enforce it.

In a perfect world, all of Obama's judges would be impeached immediately. They have been basing rulings from the bench not on law, but on their own feelings and ridiculous political rhetoric. Judges who refuse to rule by the LAW should not only be impeached but disbarred immediately. If we had America First congress people, they would also enact laws that said no first or second generation foreign immigrants should be allowed to hold a Federal position. We are being assaulted daily as a nation by racist foreigners thanks to MN, Michigan and Obama.

From the article:
The remedy for potential political bias in a federal judge's ruling consists of the appeals process, with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia and ultimately the Supreme Court able to reverse such a decision. But Judge Mehta's order forbids this. ... A stay of a ruling with irreversible consequences is standard operating procedure.
The deep state coup plotters are obviously still at work.

82% of all H1B holders come from one country ~ India!
Watch what this judge does when Trump sets a national quota of NO MORE THAN 10% from any one country in place!

It's time to unseal all of Obamas records and his real birth certificate, not the fake Hawaii thing. When we establish that he was not eligible to be the President of the United States, all his appointed judges would be nullified, as well as all of his executive orders. And this judge made digging into Obamas records legal.

Time for another Judge to be impeached and removed from the bench.

@#22: That will have to wait for a GOP majority in the House and supermajority in the Senate. The House impeaches by majority vote. The Senate then tries the case and needs a 2/3 vote to convict.
