If the U of D decides to take this to the Supreme Court. Or any court. Because any decision can then be applied to Trump. If the school does take it to court they can use the same arguments Trump used to stop release of his records, which is precedent. IF they deny precedent and rule to release, then that decision can be used to force Trump to release his records. So the court is now in a corner - they can't have it both ways, and whatever decision they come to will apply to both Biden and Trump.

I'm sure they thought they are so clever to pull this stunt, but this will be a big backfire. I can bet that right about now, the light bulb has gone off in some con's head and they are beginning to think this may not be such a good idea..
