The privilege applies to the office, not the person Nevilledog Sep 2021 #9

It applies to both StarfishSaver Sep 2021 #17

It appears murky at best. Nevilledog Sep 2021 #28

The said Supreme Court malaise Sep 2021 #34

They disagreed with Nixon about whether the privilege protected that particular communication StarfishSaver Sep 2021 #39

Sure, former presidents can assert it, but that's on behalf of the Office Azathoth Sep 2021 #53

A former president's ability to invoke EP doesn't make it incoherent. It actually makes good sense StarfishSaver Sep 2021 #56

Is there any case where former President invoked it... TomCADem Sep 2021 #63

Yes. Although it's not a matter of the current president actually "objecting"-just not supporting it StarfishSaver Sep 2021 #66

You Have the Holding Wrong. The Court Rejected ... TomCADem Sep 2021 #70

No. You are confusing the issue of standing with validity of the substantive claim StarfishSaver Sep 2021 #67

Such a lawsuit would be very interesting Azathoth Sep 2021 #51

There's no question that he has standing to invoke the privilege StarfishSaver Sep 2021 #52

Sure, he can sue if it's effectively on behalf of the Office Azathoth Sep 2021 #55

The current president's waiving of the privilege doesn't affect the former president's standing StarfishSaver Sep 2021 #57
