I would like to see some discussion of how the tapes were procured from Nixon when he claimed executive privilege, separation of powers and national security.

On July 24, 1974, a unanimous Court (with Justice Rehnquist not taking part due to a prior role in the Nixon administration) ruled against the President. Chief Justice Warren Burger said that the President didn’t have an absolute, unqualified privilege to withhold information. Executive privilege is an absolute unqualified privilege. In other words, if Nixon had no executive privilege in his case, Biden has none in this case
