Federal funds to NJ should have been cut in 2016.
Should be cut for all States, period.  Partly for the reason you're discussing (using them as a tool to extort States into doing what the Feds want).

In addition, I have no interest in the tax returns of someone who was not a .gov employee before they were running.  In contrast, I'd be very interested in just how members of Congress become multi-millionaires in short order on $173K/year Congressional pay when they started out middle class at best.

Personally, I'm sick fo this whole tax return crap.  Should have never become a thing.  I'd be fine if Trump ends up being what kills this so-called "tradition".  If I were running for POTUS, I'd tell everyone who demanded them to piss off.

I can all but guarantee you two things.
1.The IRS, NYS and NYC have picked through every tax return Trump or any company or organization he is part of with a fine tooth comb.
2.Some "fellow traveller" IRS employee has leaked the returns to Pelosi, Schumer etc. They know what is in there, this is just hay making for political expedience.

The one thing in Trump's returns that is potentially damaging?
He isn't nearly as wealthy as he claims to be. He is a billionaire but has grossly overstated his net worth.

^^This. If there was dirt on Trump some weasel in the IRS would have leaked it by now.

People quickly forget that they have leaked some of his tax info.

I also think Trump gets extra backlash because he was the one of the loudest mouths when it came to transparency with Obama.

So, you think that each State should be able to require any documents from any Presidential candidate?

Do you realize the precedent that sets?

Trump can't do that.  He has no power over Federal elections, especially his own.  Congress is the one that tallies and certifies the vote.  Total conflict of interest for the President to be the one to do that and, again, unconstitutional.

And, as I've mentioned above, WA can choose its Electors however it wants and require whatever qualifications for Electors that it wants as far as the Constitution is concerned.  The legislature could just pick a slate of Electors pledged to the Democrat and be done with it if that's what they want to do.  Appointing Electors by legislation, after all, was for a time the most common method of choosing Electors in this country.

Trump's chosen candidates for Elector have no entitlement to be given consideration; nor do anyone else's slate of candidates for Elector, for that matter.  It's stupid and spiteful for WA to do this, but that's a separate matter.

BUT.... the Consitution does enumerate the qualifications to be President. ie “natural born” “age of 35 years” etc

The argument in court would be that WA has added a requirement that is under the purview of the Constitution and that is not a power apportioned to the states. I could also easily see SCOTUS agreeing with me.

Tie this into all those blue states saying their Electoral College votes go to the popular vote winner, too. Makes it that much easier for the Commie candidate to win when entire states won't let you vote for someone they don't want to win.

See? It's all part of their plan and people like us aren't a part of it.

We all should.

Whether it really passes or even if it does if it holds any water constitutionally or not we are seeing the thrashings of a group who feel extremely threatened by loss of power but in many instances loss of cover.

If Trump wins again then they will have two choices; chill the eff out and realize there was nothing really to worry about (i.e. reflect and learn) or B) go full retard.  Yes, I don't think they've done that just yet.

Apparently the Washington State Senate has passed a bill saying if Trump doesn't release his tax returns, he won't be on the ballot. Minimum 5 years of returns.
The dems are looking for "criminal activity" on his taxes. Haha Wow.

How can Washington pass a law like that regarding federal elections? It's still got a ways to go, but still.

I've spent a good amount of time in the Southern Tier area of NY.  It's great and a lot like many places in PA.  In fact, I'd say there's a real quality to the workers in that area that shines when given a project or task.

Sadly, they are forced to suffer through the rest of the state's imbalance with NYC and as jobs have dried up I've seen those people forced out and move.  Like much of rural America and the midwest the inside wealth is being sucked to the coasts and then out of the country all together.

Politicians don't release records unless it's to their benefit, or ordered by a court. And they sure don't release anything an opponent can use to beat them over the head. Obama hid his transcripts, Hillery hid her thesis and research papers. The hue and cry for Trump's returns are driven by his enemies.

Even if Trump's returns are squeeky clean, they will be twisted into an indictment punishable by lynching.

Remember Harry Reid's lies about Romney not filing tax returns?

And last I checked.....according to the CONSTITUTION.......releasing tax returns IS NOT a requirement to be president.......being a natural born citizen IS.....

Not to mention that IF there was ANYTHING criminal in his taxes....an obuttwhiff sympathizer inside the IRS would have leaked it to the media DURING the 2016 campaign....or soon after the election........

and no....if Obama or Clinton refused to release taxes.....I would not care....because as I said it is not a requirement to be president

Plus Trump loves to constantly toot his own horn about his success and how he's the greatest/best, etc.. A lot of people simply think "Dude, put your money where you mouth is and show us your detailed taxes."

If this was Obama or Clinton refusing to release their taxes, this place would go on meltdown. Again, zero consistency with so many here. It's always "Orange man always good" with EVERYTHING.

Retards still obsessed about his tax returns.
Every President since the 1970's has released their detailed tax returns. Trump mentioned many many times he would release them at a future date. Then he started making excuses saying "I can't release them because I'm currently being audited" (<- which is a lie, you CAN still release them) which then turned into "I'm not releasing them."

This.

In addition, I have no interest in the tax returns of someone who was not a .gov employee before they were running.  In contrast, I'd be very interested in just how members of Congress become multi-millionaires in short order on $173K/year Congressional pay when they started out middle class at best.

might as well.

There's no law requiring the president to show tax returns.  ... so essentially they're going to try to make up a law that punishes him for something thats not even legally required? One that affects an election?

Heck, let's see it go to the supreme court even.  Cos if they can pull crap like that they can also make up laws that say, "you can't be on the ballot because we don't like you"

Surely if he released them, he would be treated fairly and the info contained within would not be twisted and distorted into proof of (nonexistant) Russian collusion which would then be perpetually broadcast by the corrupt and controlled media.

Yup, I just can't imagine why Trump wouldn't want to give the left more leeway to drag his name through the mud!

Just make a law that makes it illegal for anyone named Donald Trump to be on their ballot.  Fuck it.

The fucking Democrats have such a stranglehold on this state (Connecticut) that it wouldn't surprise me if they pulled some bullshit like this.

Yes, their spending time on this is retarded.

The one positive is that every second spent on this is a second they cannot spend fucking over our 2A rights.

You mean like Obama publicly released his birth certificate........ oh wait..........

And last I checked.....according to the CONSTITUTION.......releasing tax returns IS NOT a requirement to be president.......being a natural born citizen IS.....

Not to mention that IF there was ANYTHING criminal in his taxes....an obuttwhiff sympathizer inside the IRS would have leaked it to the media DURING the 2016 campaign....or soon after the election........

and no....if Obama or Clinton refused to release taxes.....I would not care....because as I said it is not a requirement to be president

It is a requirement BUT a candidate doesn't have to released his birth certificate to the public. Obama could of never released his birth certificate to placate some nutjobs and it would of been fine.

Simple,, executive order....
All Presidential runners MUST show original birth certificate,,with raised seal.

All Congress and the Senate MUST provide tax returns for ALL years in office

Congress and the Senate are limited terms,,no more lifetime terms

I can all but guarantee you two things.
1.The IRS, NYS and NYC have picked through every tax return Trump or any company or organization he is part of with a fine tooth comb.
2.Some "fellow traveller" IRS employee has leaked the returns to Pelosi, Schumer etc. They know what is in there, this is just hay making for political expedience.

The one thing in Trump's returns that is potentially damaging?
He isn't nearly as wealthy as he claims to be. He is a billionaire but has grossly overstated his net worth.

That's not in his tax returns.  There's no line on the 1040 for how much you control in assets.

Quoted:

The States have complete controul over how Presidential elections are run within their respective boundaries.  All the Constitution does is say how Electors are to be apportioned, that votes are cast on a State-by-State basis, and that they are transmitted sealed to Congress, which tallies them, and also states that there shall be an absolute majority to win (and provides for backup methods if no majority is achieved).  That's it.  It leaves everything else to the States.

States have complete latitude on how to choose Electors.  Electors do not even have to be elected.  The State legislature can choose them, or the Governor can appoint them, or there can be some indirect method of election, some direct method, a lottery, or whatever; heck, it can be a mix of methods.

This latitude includes States determining qualifications for Electors, and they certainly could disqualify any slate of Electors pledged to a person who does not meet certain criteria (such as not releasing tax returns).  It's stupid and wrong, and obviously not based on any effort to do something good in this case, but it is what it is.

However, Electors can still constitutionally vote for whoever they want.  So in theory, Trump could still get WA electoral votes, as unlikely as that is, even with this law.  Technically, Electors can even nominate candidates for President, which was how it was done in the earliest years of the Republic.

While the Feds have intruded a lot into the realm of Federal elections, their legitimate controul in this area is pretty minimal (and largely negative); our system was designed to make the States controul a lot when it came to Federal elections.  There seems to be a common misconception on this forum, though, that the opposite is the case.

That's your opinion about what the states can do.

Punitively leaving off a candidate IS something that the state will have to defend in a court of law. It smacks representative governing right in the face.

Preventing Presidential candidates on ballots via arbitrary means

and

nullifying the votes of the people in the state by assigning the electoral college votes to who has the popular vote from other states disenfranchises the people of the entire state.

This is not going to end well.
