Yep. I don’t hold out much hope for the panel decision.
Second Circuit: (1) Dubya judge, (2) Rapin Bill judges, (2) Odiousbama judges, (5) Trump judges, (1) BiteMe judge.
I didn't realize that The Senile Puddin Pop Puppet snuck one on to the Second.
So, it's 6-5 or 5-6 for the three-judge panel choice, depending on whether the Dubya judge is a squish. She's currently the chief judge of the Second [confirmed 91 - 0, but that was back in the old days].
In December, 2019, [Debra Ann] Livingston partially dissented from a federal appeals court ruling ordering that Donald Trump comply with a subpoena and turn over his tax returns to the U.S. House of Representatives.
She stated, "I cannot accept the majority's conclusions that 'this case does not concern separation of powers,' and that there is 'minimal at best' risk of distraction to this and future Presidents from legislative subpoenas of this sort."
Livingston said she would send the case back to a lower court and require the House committees to provide more details about the legislative purposes behind their requests before deciding whether the banks must comply.
