    Yes. We are a country of laws, not a country of men.

    “Just following orders” gets you hanged at Nuremberg trials.

          We should petition the government to change our national anthem to Julius Fučík’s “Entry of the Gladiators” .

          As a bonus, there aren’t even any tricky lyrics to memorize.

      He can literally pardon them though so I guess you are a country of men… Or at least one man anyways…

    So says the lower courts.

    The Supreme Court responds with “Everything Trump says and does is legal.”

      Obviously not, they would simply refer to “The Book of Trump” - Truth 20:21:

      I said it, therefore it’s legal. People are saying — very smart people — that no one’s ever seen laws like mine. The best laws. Tremendous laws. When I speak, it becomes true. That’s how it works. Some say, “Sir, can you really do that?” And I say, “I just did.” Total authority. Believe me.

      You mean Trump’s bought out, stacked Supreme Court that has given him a green light for everything he has done so far?

      I wonder how that will go. /s
