U.S. judge temporarily blocks a California law aimed at forcing President Trump to release his personal income tax returns in order to appear on the 2020 primary ballot.
FILE - This Sept. 5, 2017 file photo shows incumbent California Secretary of State Alex Padilla in Sacramento, Calif. California will appeal a federal judge's ruling Tuesday, Oct. 1, 2019, that temporarily blocks a law aimed at forcing President Donald Trump to release his personal income tax returns. Secretary of State Padilla said he will appeal the ruling. He said the law is "fundamental to preserving and protecting American democracy.
U.S. District Judge Morrison C. England Jr. issued a written opinion saying the law likely violates the U.S. Constitution. He had announced last month he planned to block the law. In his 24-page ruling, Morrison wrote the state’s concerns are “both legitimate and understandable,” highlighting that candidates have offered “unnecessary and irrelevant excuses for shielding the public from such information.”
Morrison said the law violates Trump’s First Amendment right of associating with voters who share his political beliefs. He also noted the California Legislature is controlled by Democrats, who passed a law targeting a Republican president.
