Do conservatives think if they insert the word "constitution" into an argument they are magically right, even if they're wrong?
Nixon tried to make the argument that his private conversations were executive privilege, refusing to comply with congress. The courts, however, have ruled that evidence that might relate to criminal or impeachable conduct, is not protected by executive privilege.
This IS a loser in court for Trump, no matter what you've been told.
Of course, you understand you are conflating a soiled president with the current occupant. You also seem to forget that the SC is but one of the there branches of government, right? If Nixon had made a bonfire of his tapes, rather than doing the right thing and allowing their display, this would have been a different discussion. Or, has the SC ruled on burned, non-existent evidence?
