In a 2-1 decision, the US Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit ruled it wouldn't police the standoff between the House Judiciary Committee and the White House."If federal courts were to swoop in to rescue Congress whenever its constitutional tools failed, it would not just supplement the political process; it would replace that process with one in which unelected judges become the perpetual 'overseer[s]' of our elected officials.
Read MoreREAD: Appeals court rules former White House counsel Don McGahn doesn't have to testify before CongressThe case was one of the most consequential to proceed through the courts during the President's impeachment inquiry and trial. But a decision coming weeks after the impeachment trial ended -- after the Senate refused to call any witnesses -- gives the opinion much less immediate impact.
Take it to the Supreme Court!
Weasel is off the hook
CNN forgetting about Eric Holder being held in contempt of congress.
Wow what is everyone afraid of?
Horrible.
It was dismissed. Dismissed.
Testify for what?
Wow. It's a big victory if someone who might have interesting Information does not have to testify? Why?
The Democrats ironically, did not find the decision...appealing, sorry ! sorry...I know I know that was a bad one, I’ll own how bad that joke was...hmmm worst joke ever ? Screw you mom and dad I’m SOMEBODY now !
Hahaha hahaha haha 🤣🤷🏻♂️
Of he did trump has the judicial courts stacked with newly appointed conservative judges Working with the Senate, Trump has now had 158 judicial nominees confirmed to the Federal bench – a historic transformation of the judiciary.
👏👏👏👏👏👏🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Not really a “victory.” Just a fed court saying it doesn’t have authority to get involved - and it doesn’t. Still doesn’t make what Senate is doing right.
Ruling said that Congress should use its contempt power, power over appropriations and other remedies. So HouseDemocrats: Choke the Exec Branch of all $! Start w/ all of the MFers travel funds. This'll give added benefit of keeping him from taxpayer funded MAGA hate rallies.
Winning
Only crooks and liars fight to not testify under oath.
Here at CNN, it pains us to report that.....
Winning
Good. The house already had enough evidence. Trump is impeached in the house. Matt Gatze and the house did a good job.
Those of you that constantly attack this PRESIDENT for wanting to end corruption and return the government to the people where it was meant to be. EVERYTHING TRUMP does is for all Americans. If you don't agree take a closer look at those attacking him. Stop watching corrupt msm.
Barnes_Law I see a tear in your eye, CNN.
The constitution forbids federal courts from becoming an ombudsman vote 2 to 1. We cannot state the constitution only when it benefits one way, it’s got to stand alone and be upheld were a nation of law’s. Win some lose some.
Not good appeal
This winning is too much.
Snowflakes be crying
Good, Trump 2020
Hahaha!! winning
When a victory for you means you get to withhold damaging info about yourself, that's sad, when you can't score any real victories that help America, you only try and help yourself lol.
😡
Extreme republican factionalism has rendered the Constitution unenforceable. They have created a no-win situation for the Constitution and the Republic.
Coverups coverups coverups
Separation of powers should prevent the courts from interfering in Congressional matters. This should be appealed ASAP
It’s quite stunning that virtually every “major victory” for Trump is a major defeat for transparency, accountability and truth.
How many people still believe in the true equity of our court system?
The judges aren't wrong. Congress didn't exhaust all of its powers in compelling McGahn to testify. They can arrest him.
Time to get these courts sorted
Hepsi toplanmis ve kınamışlar. Yaziklar olsun.boyle muhalefet oldugu surece sahsimin sirti yere gelmez
AWESOME...another day, another loss for the Failing Left. So much losing, it's a wonder they keep trying. KAG 2020!
Waiting for the next { FAKE outrage }!!😂😂😂
CNN I think you need to check on Schiff and Nadler. They are probably in some corner crying! Too bad! The impeachment was a sham. Also, Ukraine has an open crime investigation into the Bidens. The real corruption is with the Obama administration.
🤣what’s next Dems.🤣
It’s not blocking, it’s using executive powers that the judiciary just reinforced
MoreWinning LOL. Choke on that Fake News CNN....
And yet the stock market tumbles 3,000 points in a week under the worst administration ever
