Every Republican should’ve been on TV on Biden‘s 80th birthday.
Drawing attention to his crazy statements and repeated lies.
Once, again, they support it let Joe off the hook.
Son of a bitch, the man investigating Hunter got fired.
Add-in Schuuuuuuuuumer, Hoyer, Romney, McCarthy, etc.
Report proves one thing; IRS can do what ever they please to anyone, anywhere, anytime. Now arm the 87,000 new agents and they will make the Gestapo look like kids play.
Traitor Roberts has been a Trump H8ter [bigly] for a long time.
I hope Trump can stall things until the new House is seated in January.
However, the law says that Congress has the right to review any person’s tax return:
Section 6103(f)(1) of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) reads:
Upon written request from the chairman of the Committee on Ways and Means of the House of Representatives, the chairman of the Committee on Finance of the Senate, or the chairman of the Joint Committee on Taxation, the Secretary [of the Treasury] shall furnish such committee with any return or return information specified in such request, except that any return or return information which can be associated with, or otherwise identify, directly or indirectly, a particular taxpayer shall be furnished to such committee only when sitting in closed executive session unless such taxpayer otherwise consents in writing to such disclosure.
The communists want these tax returns so they can get all the information about everyone whoever dealt with President Trump. The death threats and doxing by the communists RATS will start in a couple weeks.
Just in the nick of time. Now the Dems can order up a Special Council to - never mind. . .
I’m sure the Dems will allow DJT to amend his tax returns if there any issues. Just like they did for the Clintons . . .
Now that we know the rules, I’m sure that McCarthy’s first acts as Speaker will be to demand The tax returns of Biden (both), Obama, Clinton, Pelosi, Schumer.
Nah, not gonna happen.
Just like impeachments.
It makes me sick what the Democrats are constantly doing to this man. He is so above board that they can’t find anything to charge him with, so they just keep searching and searching hoping to find some teensy weensy questionable act. I hope when the Republicans take the House that they will want to see how the IRS audits Biden’s tax returns.
I agree. It’s truly terrible.
Oh no! This is sooo terrible!! Ha ha ha ha ! They will find noting in Trump’s tax returns and this ruling now makes to harder for Joey to keep HIS tax returns secret.
Things aren’t always - no seldom are - what they seem to be in Washington politics.
The only people upset about this are the uninitiated who know nothing but what they are fed and the Occupy White House gang.
Run Donald Jr. or Eric as proxy POTUS?
Biden has already released his taxes though.
I'm not so sure of that. If this request was granted to investigate how Presidential tax returns are handled, then that justification might only be granted once.
They denied the request without comment
Key word owned for their no comment
“Holy smokes how the hell do the rats to have a right to a persons tax records?”
Federal statute.
Well now we know. TexasGator is Adam Schiff.
Roberts is a homo
Thanks for replying Raycpa.
Regardless of the 16th Amendment (16A), it remains that the states have never expressly constitutionally given the federal government the specific power to dictate, regulate, tax and spend in the name of INTRAstate healthcare, no mention of national healthcare in 16A.
"10th Amendment: The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people."
"Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States." —Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
"From the accepted doctrine that the United States is a government of delegated powers, it follows that those not expressly granted, or reasonably to be implied from such as are conferred, are reserved to the states, or to the people. To forestall any suggestion to the contrary, the Tenth Amendment was adopted. The same proposition, otherwise stated, is that powers not granted are prohibited [emphasis added]." —United States v. Butler, 1936.
In fact, federal military healthcare aside, the rest of this post shows clarifications of no express constitutional federal government power to tax and spend for national healthcare by respected constitutional experts (the misguided Supreme Court got Obamacare wrong imo). Clarifications include excerpts from Supreme Court case opinions where justices used healthcare as an example of a power that the states have never expressly constitutionally given to the feds.
But most importantly for this 16A-related discussion, the very last excerpt in this post, from Linder v. United States, 1925, a clarification that the states have obviously never expressly constitutionally given Congress the specific, express power to dictate, regulate, tax and spend for intrastate healthcare purposes (my wording), was decided roughly 12 years after 16A was ratified.
And 16A did not add any new powers to Congress's constitutional Article I, Section 8-limited powers, that amendment effectively only widening Congress's original power to appropriate taxes.
Here's the start of expert clarifications that the states have never expressly constitutional given the feds the specific power to establish a national healthcare program.
"Many are the exercises of power reserved to the States wherein a uniformity of proceeding would be advantageous to all. Such are quarantines, health laws [emphasis added], regulations of the press, banking institutions, training militia, etc., etc." —Thomas Jefferson to James Sullivan, 1807.
"They form a portion of that immense mass of legislation, which embrace every thing in the territory of a state not surrendered to the general government. Inspection laws, quarantine laws, and health laws [emphasis added], as well as laws for regulating the internal commerce of a state, and others, which respect roads, fences, &c. are component parts of state legislation, resulting from the residuary powers of state sovereignty. No direct power over these is given to congress, and consequently they remain subject to state legislation, though they may be controlled by congress, when they interfere with their acknowledged powers." —Justice Joseph Story, Article I, Section 10, Clause 2, 1833.
“Inspection laws, quarantine laws, health laws of every description [emphasis added], as well as laws for regulating the internal commerce of a state and those which respect turnpike roads, ferries, &c., are component parts of this mass.” —Justice Barbour, New York v. Miln., 1837.
Finally, arguably the final nail in the coffin that the states have never expressly constitutional given the feds the specific power to tax and spend for a national healthcare program regardless of 16A, please consider the following.
Misguided Speaker Pelosi had repeatedly ignored a repeatedly submitted proposal by former Rep. Jessie Jackson Jr., for House to pass a referendum to propose a healthcare amendment to the Constitution to the states.
If I remember correctly, she ignored Jackson Jr. proposal both before and after she irresponsibly rammed Obamacare bill through the House, such an amendment necessary for making Obamacare constitutional imo.
Next, below are excerpts from Supreme Court case opinions and congressional record that don't mention unique state power to stop contagious diseases with quarantine, but support the constitutional reality that peacetime healthcare issues, politically correct (imo) mandating of masks argued to slow spread of contagious diseases for example, is a state power issue, not the business of the feds.
”State inspection laws, health laws, and laws for regulating the internal commerce of a State, and those which respect turnpike roads, ferries, &c. are not within the power granted to Congress [emphases added]” —Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
From the congressional record, clarification by Rep. John Bingham, the main author of Section 1 of the 14th Amendment:
”Simply this, that the care of the property, the liberty, and the life of the citizen, under the solemn sanction of an oath imposed by your Constitution, is in the States and not in the federal government [emphases added]. I have sought to effect no change in that respect in the Constitution of the country.” —John Bingham, Congressional. Globe. 1866, page 1292 (see top half of third column)
“Direct control of medical practice in the states is obviously beyond the power of Congress [emphasis added].” –Linder v. United States, 1925.
