In a major blow to President Trump, both of his Supreme Court appointees voted with the majority in a Thursday decision ruling that the president is not immune from a subpoena demanding he reveal his tax returns.
Justices Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh came to the court as conservative judges in 2017 and 2018, respectively.
The appointment of the duo has long been heralded by conservatives as perhaps Trump’s most significant accomplishment, ostensibly changing the court for decades to come by tilting it to a 5-4 conservative majority.
Buy Kavanaugh and Gorsuch were part of the 7-2 majority in Thursday’s Trump v. Vance ruling, denying the president legal protections from the Manhattan District Court’s subpoena over his long hidden tax returns.
