Half a century ago, the Supreme Court ruled in the United States v. Nixon that executive privilege is not absolute.
In a unanimous decision, the Supreme Court in 1974 rejected Nixon’s argument – a ruling that marked the end of his presidency.
But would the Supreme Court half a century later say the same?
“It wouldn't shock me to find that the Supreme Court tries to avoid a showdown,” Geyh says.
“One could see certain issues developing through the course of litigation that do present the type of constitutional question that the Supreme Court would take,” Geyh says.
