sorry...stare decicis is where the courts follow prior precedents\rulings for other like cases.

In this case, they cite United States v. Burr, 25 F. Cas. 30, 33–34 from 1807

John Marshall, presiding as Circuit Justice for Virginia over the treason trial of Aaron Burr, granted
Burr’s motion for a sub-poena duces tecum directed at President Jefferson.
In rejecting the prosecution’s argument that a President was not subject to such a sub-poena, Marshall held
that a President does not “stand exempt” from the Sixth Amendment’s guarantee that the accused have
compulsory process for obtaining witnesses for their defense.

Hmm, so they could subpoena Pres. Jefferson’s documents because of someone else’s criminal acts?
