The Watergate scandal led to the "Saturday Night Massacre". It was the term given by political commentators to U.S. President Richard Nixon's executive dismissal of independent special prosecutor Archibald Cox, and the resignations of Attorney General Elliot Richardson and Deputy Attorney General William Ruckelshaus on October 20, 1973 during the Watergate scandal.
It means that either you, your attorney, the prosecutor, or the judge, has refused to allow a request that more than 90 days pass before your case must be presented to court.

"No Bill" typically means the grand jury refused to indict a suspect for a felony charge. I don't know if the district attorney, or federal prosecutor can continue to grand jury shop the indictment or not after this. A competent attorney in your area could tell you for certain what the likely outcome is of the return of a "no bill".

Yes. When Mr. Brown was Attorney General of California, he refused to defend Proposition 8 in court. (Proposition 8 is a ballot measure which has temporarily prevented California from permitting same-sex couples to marry.)California Governor Jerry Brown is in favor of same-sex marriage. When Proposition 8 (amendment to Constitution of California banning same-sex marriage) was challenged in court, Jerry Brown (then California Attorney General) refused to appeal the decision and agreed that Proposition 8 should be struck down. (Incidentally, this position was shared with Arnold Schwarzenegger, who was then Governor of California.)
Yes, on November 17, 1973.As the evidence mounted in the Watergate investigation by Special Prosecutor Archibald Cox, Nixon had Cox fired, though only after having to remove both his Attorney General and Assistant Attorney General who refused to do it. This "Saturday Night Massacre" on October 20 was met by wide disapproval because of its obvious implications concerning Nixon's guilt in the criminal acts and coverups. During his next news conference, Nixon tried to justify his actions to a skeptical media, ending in his assertion "I am not a crook" (meaning that he believed that whatever he did as President could not be construed as criminal). But his new Special Prosecutor, Leon Jaworski, uncovered the same evidence of criminal acts as Cox did, and Nixon's White House aides were soon indicted and convicted. With Nixon's own part revealed by his own White House tape recordings, Congressional impeachment was going to succeed. This led Nixon to resign on August 9, 1974.
