'Democratic and Republican politicians agree on one thing about President Donald Trump’s tax returns: The Constitution determines who can see them. '
'Democrats such as Representative David Cicilline insist that Congress needs access to fulfill its “constitutional responsibilities of oversight” and evaluate possible violations of the Constitution’s emoluments clauses. '
' In political debates such as the Trump tax tussle, it often feels as if the United States has two legal charters, one for Republicans and another for Democrats. '
'But, far from serving as a symbol of “unity and common purpose,” the Constitution has come to enable, or even exacerbate, partisan strife. '
'Elected officials from both parties appeal routinely to the nation’s foundational document. '
