Supreme Court All But Ensures Trump Tax Returns Won't Be an Election Issue
最高法院基本確定特朗普的納稅申報表不會成為選舉問題

President Donald Trump has lashed out at a pair of Supreme Court rulings on access to his financial records, calling them part of a "political witch hunt," but the court's decision to send both cases back to the lower courts could prove to be a big political win heading into the fall election.
美國總統唐納德·特朗普猛烈抨擊了最高法院關于查閱其財務記錄的兩項裁決。稱這是“政治迫害”的一部分，但是最高法院決定將兩起訴訟下達至下級法院，這可能會證明對于即將進入的秋季選舉是一個巨大的政治勝利。
Experts generally agree that it's unlikely the public will have any chance peeking into Trump's financial records before November 3—if ever.
專家們普遍認為，如果是真的，那么公眾不大可能在11月3日之前有機會窺探到特朗普的財務記錄。
"Nothing is gonna happen before November election, that's for sure," Columbia law professor Michael Graetz told Newsweek.
哥倫比亞大學法學教授邁克爾·格雷茨告訴《新聞周刊》：“在11月大選之前，肯定不會發生任何事情。”。
Rick Lempert, law professor at the University of Michigan, told Newsweek the ruling near guarantees that the information remains "secret until after the election in November."
密歇根大學法學教授里克·萊珀特對《新聞周刊》表示，這項裁決基本保證了這些信息會“在11月大選后公開”
"From Trump's point of view, if what he's really concerned about is the political harm that might be done from him, it looks like a complete victory," he said.
他說：“從特朗普的角度來看，如果他真正關心的是他可能受到的政治迫害，那看起來是一場徹底的勝利。”。
And Claire Finkelstein, faculty director of the Center for Ethics and the Rule of Law at the University of Pennsylvania, told Newsweek that even if documents are soon given to a New York grand jury, it would be illegal for them to get out despite intense public interest.
而賓夕法尼亞大學道德與法治中心的教職主任克萊爾·芬克爾斯坦對《新聞周刊》表示，盡管文件很快就會交給紐約大陪審團，但泄露文件是違法行為，不管公眾多么強烈關注這份文件。
"I expect the financial records will remain secret," she said.
她說：“我預計這些財務記錄將繼續保密。”。
The Supreme Court ruled 7–2 in two cases, with Trump-appointed justices Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh joining Chief Justice John Roberts and the court's liberal bloc, that the fight over a New York state subpoena for Trump's tax records and a congressional subpoena for financial documents should be sent back to lower courts.
最高法院在兩起訴訟中以7比2進行裁定，特朗普任命的大法官尼爾·戈爾索斯和布雷特·卡瓦諾聯同首席大法官約翰·羅伯茨和法院的自由派陣營形成多數派，關于紐約州是否可以調閱特朗普稅務記錄，以及國會是否可以調閱財務文件的訴訟應該下發至下級法院。
After a morning of tweeting negatively about the rulings, Trump told reporters at the White House Thursday afternoon that he was "satisfied" with one ruling and "not satisfied" with the other. He specifically took issue with the court's rejection of his legal argument that a sitting president has "absolute immunity" from subpoenas and can't be forced to respond.
周四上午，特朗普在推特上對裁決結果發表負面評論后，下午在白宮對記者說，他對一項裁決“滿意”，對另一項裁決“不滿意”。他特別反對法院駁回自己的法律論點，即現任總統對傳票享有“絕對豁免權”，不能被迫作出回應。
