"This remains a terrible, anti-democratic idea and California should be embarrassed (sic)." -Nate Silver
California's governor signed into law that you can't appear on the California ballot for president unless you hand over the past 5 years of tax returns to the California Attorney General.
The law might be unconstitutional due to putting requirements not within the constitution.
Would Democrats be fine with other limitations? Obama wouldn't release grades and test scores - could Texas make that a requirement to be on the ballot? We want an intellectually sound leader after all, don't we?
Democrats are showing they are willing to set dangerous precedents in order to achieve short term satisfaction. California is a one party state so there's nobody to talk sense to them and it will be up to the courts to decide. Even if it turns out what they are doing is legal, it will be, as you have pointed out, emulated by other states with other political makeups, with unforeseen consequences. And in the short term Trump will be left off the ballot in a state he has no chance to win in the first place. All the democrats will win is a few minutes with a **** eating grin and the continuation of their popular vote talking point in to Trump's second term. Which may be all they are looking to get anyway.
Notice they don't want to make them public, they want to have an individual see them in order to decide what information about which candidate is released.

Exactly.
Trump is in zero danger of winning CA. Still a very very slippery slope.
I believe is unconstitutional and will be shot down in court.
I DO think Congress should make disclosure of taxes mandatory.

I think the Conservative states should say that no one can be on their ballot unless they are pro life and renounce socialism.
