United States v. Nixon

President Richard M. Nixon was involved in the Watergate scandal, which later revealed secret tapes in which the President had conversations with the White House Oval Office.I believe that Nixon's arguments to not reveal the tapes to the public were inaccurate to the situation. The tapes were not protecting military or national secrets and therefore his arguments were immaculate. I believe just because Nixon was President at the time does not give him the right to proceed with illegal actions. I feel that the courts decisions were the right decision to release the tapes to the public.

Nixon argued that the tapes were no to be surrendered because the executive privilege protected his office from turning in confidential material. But since these tapes were just recordings about the white house they couldn't be protected.
