Trump has taken full advantage of a flaw in our court system.
Our court system moves far too slowly on matters of national security. It is absurd the courts have not made a final decision on Trumps taxes. There is a law already in place that says Trump must turn over his taxes to the House committee. It should not take six months, a year or longer to make this decision.
The courts should have decided by now if people like Mcgahn have to testify. They should have decided by now that the House gets the full Mueller report. A judge just ordered the DOJ to turn over the full report. They will appeal over and over again and drag it out. It's bullshit. Are the courts going to make their decisions after next years election? It's ****ing ridiculous. These are not difficult decisions. The courts should not be abled to be abused in this way.
On matters like this the courts cannot let people like Trump drag things out indefinitely. Time is a factor and it is a matter of national security. If it takes new legislation to correct this flaw, then so be it.
There is a law that forces someone to turn over their tax returns, sans any criminal charges, for any reason the state wants? Hmmmm....
I think that if you are found selling drugs and have drugs, money, and weapons on your person the Police should just shoot you and not waste the courts' time...

2. I have long been astonished at how slowly
courts and the entire legal system move.
There is zero sense of urgency to get anything done.
I think there's also a fundamental problem with how law is taught, how lawyers are trained. There's no underlying theory of justice. As a result, attorneys will argue the most ludicrous things, as evidenced by recent claims on the part of attorneys supporting Trump, or the separation of young children from their parents, and so on.
What you are calling for is for more lynchings...

3. No doubt they're using the courts to try to run out the clock
Just have to keep reminding them "what are you afraid of?" ... because the majority of the public will figure out the behavior
