OTHERWISE: Supreme Court is still sitting on Trump's tax returns, and justices aren't saying why - CNNPolitics

The norm in criminal investigations is that federal courts keep hands off state prosecutors absent compelling evidence of bad faith.  Last year in the Trump tax return cases Trump "lost" at each step up to the Supreme Court which also refused to block the Grand Jury subpoena by the Manhattan District Attorney.  So Trump tried a last ditch `1983' civil rights action to block the subpoena.  The case was quickly dismissed in the District Court, soon affirmed by the Second Circuit.  But that court gave Trump time to file an expedited petition to the Supreme Court which generally acts quickly.  The Manhattan District Attorney - Cyrus Vance, Jr. - agreed not to enforce while the Supreme Court application was pending.  No good deed goes unpunished.  Instead of the usual prompt denial of such a claim the high court has sat on the matter, raising unanswerable questions about why the now former President is not being treated like any other citizen as John Roberts majority opinion said he is. - GWC
