New York State Asks U.S. District Court in D.C. to Acknowledge that President Trump Must Sue New York in a Federal Court Inside New York State

On July 30, all three sides in the lawsuit Trump v Committee on Ways & Means and Letitia James, Attorney General of New York, submitted a statement of how to proceed. The case was filed by President Trump to stop New York state from giving a copy of his state income tax return to the Chair of the Ways & Means Committee. The case is in U.S. District Court in D.C.

New York state attorneys say the President should have filed his case in a U.S. District Court in New York state, not D.C. The President asks the court to order the Chairman of the Ways & Means Committee to give at least two weeks notice if he does decide to ask for the return. And the Chair of the Ways & Means Committee argues that it would violate Article One, Section 6, for the Court to enjoin any congressional action. That part of the Constitution says, in part, “They (members of Congress) shall be privileged from Arrest…for any Speech or Debate in either House, they shall not be questioned in any other Place.”

  1. What if the Chair of the Ways & Means Committee orders the *Arrest* of the Prez ???

    The 1-6 language was enacted in England to stop English monarchs from purging members of the Brit parliament for Speech/Debate criticism of such monarchs [and their stooges].

    IE – blank check for Congress folks to slander/libel everybody.

    The MORON Dems (ie SUPER-MORON Pelosi) are too MORON stupid — failed to send an impeachment resolution of Trump on 3 Jan 2019 to the H Judic Comt – to get ALL evidence — Grand Jury, classified, etc.

    Thus the secondary junior high skooool machinations — via State stuff.
