Gingrich gives away the game on Trump and Kavanaugh

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

The Washington Post hosted a Q&A with former House Speaker Newt Gingrich yesterday, and when the discussion turned to Donald Trump’s tax returns, Karen Tumulty noted that if Democrats gain power in Congress after the congressional midterms, they’re likely to subpoena the president’s materials. She asked Gingrich about his expectations in the event of such a fight, and the Republican responded:

“Then [Democrats will] be trapped into appealing to the Supreme Court, and we’ll see whether or not the Kavanaugh fight was worth it.”

I wasn’t in the room for the event, but one journalist who was on hand said there were “audible gasps in audience.”

And given the circumstances, that’s an understandable reaction. Gingrich didn’t make the case that Trump deserves to keep his secret tax returns hidden from scrutiny, just as he ignored a status quo that empowers lawmakers to obtain the materials.

1. No secret here. This is one reason why they need

dishonorable political operatives on the court. Just wait until they start teaching the gullible that "originalist" really means far right, anti-progressive judicial activism. These people don't just mean to roll back our national identity to pre-New Deal but to a large degree to pre-Enlightenment thinking. An end to this humanistic equality and life, liberty and pursuit of happiness liberal crap.
