Trump will appeal, of course, but while the three justices he put on SCOTUS are right-wing Christian fanatics, they’re not his fanatics, as prior rulings over his claims of election fraud have made clear. So while nothing is certain with that crowd, it does look like Trump may finally have to show his taxes.

The raid on his “beautiful” home is now followed by this. Ah, the perils of schadenfreude!
