Answer: Its like the books of time and gives a sense of what going on with the context, newspapers etc.
US vs. Nixon was the Supreme Court case that was focused around whether or not Nixon would be forced to release tape recordings and other evidence to federal courts.
In a unanimous decision, the court ruled he must disclose these documents. Essentially, this court ruled that just like other citizens, Nixon is not above the law. When any individual is subpoena for records they must provide them, including the president.
Colloquial? I think. Hope this helps
