United States v. Nixon

In this landmark case the court ruled unanimously 8-0 that the president does not have "an absolute, unqualified Presidential privilege of immunity from judicial process under all circumstances." It is hard to argue that the court should have ruled the other way. Nobody is above the law and the president is no exception. The court definitely made the right decision and Nixon's resignation just goes to show that he was guilty all along.

It is important to maintain the mentality that government corruption is not acceptable no matter what the case is. As it turns out, just because the president does it doesn't mean it's not illegal.
