This is playing with fire. States can do similar things with dem candidates. If hillary is the candidate TX can pass a law that no one can be listed on the ballot if they are spouse of a former president.
NJ passes law that keeps Trump off the ballot in 2020!!!

a) I'd be careful about lambasting NJ.
Governor Chris Christie (R-NJ) is from there, competed against Trump in the 2016 primary, yet not only retained Trump as a long-tenured friend, but served as a confidant and political advisor to Trump as well.
b) If Mueller lives up to his reputation, considering how many guilty pleas Mueller has already gotten, it seems unlikely that any such statute would have any practical consequence, although
c) I do agree any such State law would set a detrimental precedent, and for that reason if no other be avoided.

NJ would also have to give up all Federal funding for not allowing free elections. This would last all of 3 minutes

We don’t need Ginsberg for this. And an attempt to suppress votes for a sitting president would violate not just Art 6, but also the first amendment.

Trump doesn’t have a prayer to win NJ.
The bill is obviously aimed at other candidates - GOP or Dem - who wish to hide their tax returns.
Until the era of Trump it was a given that presidential candidates should release their tax returns, so any conflicts of interest or irregularities were made known. But in the post-Trump pro-corruption era, the hiding of tax returns is now encouraged by the GOP rabble.

GOP enthusiasm for presidential candidates’ hiding of their tax returns is shocking.

This is what my people call 'Justice!!!'
But, the real world, filled with people with the IQ above that of a tree stump or pond scum call this socialist-liberal butthurt-itis.
This is no different than California City Counsels denouncing the Iraq war back in the day .
It's a bloated sense of self importance . Red meat for our very very VERY dumb members of my party. God Bless em.!
And Mueller? The guy who couldn't even get the right guy in the 9/11 anthrax attacks ? Let alone his own Russian Connections with Snowden.
The guy is about as dumb as they come.

He didn't have a prayer to win Pennsylvania or Michigan, either.

Who is hiding tax returns? Besides Al the [Unwelcome language removed] racist Sharpton?
Until the era of Trump it was a given that presidential candidates should release their tax returns, so any conflicts of interest or irregularities were made known. But in the post-Trump pro-corruption era, the hiding of tax returns is now encouraged by the GOP rabble.
Trump DID release his tax returns. The IRS (which the Obama weaponized to disenfranchise the mushrooming Tea Party Movement) has those returns. The professionals are looking over them right now. They are very complicated because unlike Democrat politicians who get rich by ass [Unwelcome language removed] taxpayers, Trump actually built a nine billion dollar company.
And those returns are none of your [Unwelcome language removed] business. You don't have the education to understand them, either.

Someone else's tax returns are none of your business.

Actually, I’m enthusiastic for upholding the law. You want politicians to disclose their tax returns (which btw is completely pointless) then you get the law changed.

Just because you're not smart enough to include such information in on your assessment of candidate fitness for office doesn't mean others can't / don't.

may be valid. BUT !!
is a lie.
It would not surprise me if soon after Minority Leader McConnell (R-KY) hands over the gavel, the speaker (D) and majority leader (D) may attend to that.
Probably not a bad idea.
btw:
just what do you suppose Trump has to hide?

Actually, the practice started with Reagan, and it was voluntary. There was and still is no requirement for a presidential candidate to release their tax returns.
Gee...Trump "released" his tax returns to the IRS? How good of him to do so.
Do me a favor...refuse to release yours this year to the IRS and see how that goes.
