The legislation\u2019s goal was to force President Trump\u2014and all other candidates desiring to appear on the 2020 ballot\u2014to release five years of tax returns. Seeing right through their partisan ploy to keep him off the ballot, Trump refused.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/sandiegonewsdesk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/trump-2546104_640.jpg\" width=\"457\" height=\"157\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As it turns out, the president was right all along. The California Supreme Court unanimously ruled that SB 27 was in violation of the California Constitution. Chief Justice Tani Cantil-Sakauye stated that advocates were seemingly unaware of the fact that SB 27 was in direct conflict with Proposition 4, which required presidential primaries to be opened to all \u201crecognized\u201d candidates. The descision was quick, reflecting the incredulous nature of the legislation as justices made up their minds within 15 days of hearing testimony\u2014a highly unusual occurrence.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Newsom\u2019s team was in full damage control. A spokesman stated that Newsom \u201cwould continue to urge all candidates to voluntarily release their tax returns&#8230;Congress and other states can and should take action to require presidential candidates to disclose their tax returns.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Of course, don\u2019t let the governor\u2019s rhetoric distract you from the facts. The courts have done a great job at protecting election transparency, but Democrats haven\u2019t learned how to respect the law. They\u2019ve absolutely embarrassed themselves in front of the Court and all Californians, and will likely continue to do so.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you can\u2019t beat them, delete them.
