rights that you and i would never ever receive. also tonight, how families are coping in the grief-stricken community of uvalde, texas, as they accepted their kids back to school for the first time since the massacre at robb elementary. we begin tonight with the 1974 supreme court case that was credited with ending richard nixon s presidency. good evening. president nixon has not yet responded to the sledgehammer decision of the supreme court today which ruled that he must immediately turn over tapes of 64 presidential conversations. in a unanimous decision written by chief justice warren berger the court rejected 8-0 mr. nixon s claim of absolute privilege on those tapes. the case, united states versus nixon, was all about the watergate prosecutor s demand following a subpoena for those audio tapes of conversations recorded by nixon in the oval office. chief justice warren berger, who by the way was nominated by nixon wrote, we conclude that when the ground for asserting
yesterday about an active investigation. if that pans out, i think that s tough to overcome, just perception-wise. whether he s completely innocent or not, i have no idea whether he is. leland: where does this go? he serves at the pleasure of the president. he does not require senate confirmation. how long can one be acting attorney general? under the vacancies act i think he can go 210 days. leland: that s a long time. i think the longer he stays the more likely it will be a challenge to the process underwhich he is appointed. i think it s a nonfrivolous legal question about whether or not the appointment is valid. that could bthat could an issue. i think the president will name someone pretty quickly, name a successor and try to get a confirmation hearing going to take that issue off the table. leland: no question the attorney general is one of the most important jobs in washington. we ve known that going all the way back to when robert kennedy had the job for his brother.
krypted, they want things to be planned. so i think first and foremost they want to make sure they can get through this visit with the president without any blow ups, anything that could be difficult for the chinese to deal with internationally, perception-wise. but in terms of policies, i think what they re going to want to do with the troouns and make sure the trade relationship remains intact with the united states. that s something xi jinping has talked about quite a bit. and donald trump on the other hand it was interesting going into that meeting, the u.s. economy doing pretty well right now. and the chinese economy is doing well, but it s slowing down in a lot of ways. so they don t want anytrues with u.s. trade. so what they re going to try to do in these meetings is make sure the united states is not putting any punitive measures because china isn t playing ball with north korea.
