The Supreme Court on Monday asked the Trump administration and the House to further brief justices on whether the case over the president's financial records can be decided by the courts.
The move comes two weeks before the justices will hear oral arguments over a set of subpoenas that House Democrats have issued to President Trump's banks and accountants. The request indicates that at least some of the justices may believe that the judiciary is not fit to resolve the dispute.
"The parties and the Solicitor General are directed to file supplemental letter briefs addressing whether the political question doctrine or related justiciability principles bear on the Court’s adjudication of these cases," the Supreme Court said in its order Monday morning.
The political question doctrine holds that the courts can only decide questions of law, not of politics, so general disputes between government branches are not fit for the judiciary.
Congress subpoenaed Deutsche Bank, the accounting firm Mazars and Capital One last year, prompting the president, in his personal capacity, to file a lawsuit to block them from complying.

the “Justices” care more about their pornography
than clean water and energy.
they care more about the children/$$$ they were GIVEN
to control their Decisions, then the People they
were supposed to PROTECT.
they should RESIGN.
interesting how the media is so interested in a multi-millionaire that became a politician but no has no interest in all the politicians that became multi-millionaires
Trump is the ONLY POLITICIAN THAT HAS LOST WEALTH!! And he has lost a TON of wealth from beating Hilliary!
It is an Amendment IV matter.
Unreasonable politically motivated searches are highly illegal.
aren’t the plaintiff’s requited to base the subpoena on a possible crime?? In this case, what is the crime they are charging POTUS with??
Simple questions often provide clarity:
WHO is asserting WHAT crime?
If no crime is asserted, then why is only one person being targeted by this “oversight”?
If a crime IS asserted, then why has no case been presented for indictment and why are the normal channels for prosecuting crimes not being used?
BUMP! Terrific thought. Isn’t that interesting?
We gotta get that on a tee shirt.
Funny..they said any questions about Obama’s records “lacked standing”.
So parsing that against this..?
A Search And Destroy Witch Hunt.
True, but then it wasn’t congress asking for the records. Even with a gopE house and senate, they had no interest in exposing obumber.
Very well said.
Judiciary is not fit to resolve the dispute.

That’s how I read it. SCOTUS rules this way and the Congressional fishing expeditions will get shot down fast.
You mean no political like abortion?
The House of Representatives has the sole power of impeachment and its activities pursuant to this power are nonjusticeable.
No interest in Biden or his kid. Amazing.
That's not how I read it.

I am not a lawyer. I've never even stayed in a Holiday Inn.But I read the highlighted quote as meaning (or,perhaps,suggesting) that no court has the authority to intervene in what must be called a political dispute...a dispute between the Executive Branch and the Legislative Branch.
IMO we need a lawyer to weigh in on this.
Just sayin'...
