2. The courts have ways of moving fast if necessary.

United States v. Nixon proceeded very quickly, as these things go. The tapes were subpoenaed in April of 1974, but Nixon turned over only some edited transcripts and wanted the judge to quash the subpoena. The judge denied the motion and ordered the tapes to be turned over by May 31. Both Nixon and Jaworski appealed the order directly to the Supreme Court, which heard arguments on July 8. The opinion was issued less than three weeks later, on July 24 (Nixon resigned on August 9). That's only three months between the initial issuance of the subpoena and the final Supreme Court decision, which was a Big Fucking Deal (read the case if you want to experience déjà-vu all over again). Spanky can't count on dragging these battles out for another year or so.
