United States v. Nixon

During President Nixon's 1974 reelection campaign, burglars broke into the Democratic National Committee who had alleged ties with the president. This led to a private investigation with a special prosecutor who would attempt to subpoena some private conversations from the oval office. The President was forced to turn over the tapes after a unanimous decision by the supreme court decided he did not have the executive privilege to refuse. I completely agree with the courts decision and believe that the president should not have the right to hide the tapes. The court found that the Presidents claims that the documents were confidential and that the principle of separation of powers was not enough to win the argument.
