What did SC say about Nixon?

Truman’s refusal is “troublesome, and not entirely defensible,” Rotunda wrote. Two decades later, Nixon cited Truman when he refused to appear before the congressional committees investigating the Watergate scandal or to comply with a special counsel subpoena demanding tapes of White House conversations. Then he provided only some of the requested material, in edited form. The Supreme Court unanimously ruled against Nixon, demanding he turn over all of the materials. He resigned two weeks later. His successor, Gerald Ford, pardoned him a month later, making the subpoena issue moot.
