    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.

        I pledge allegiance/
        To the brand/
        Of the Corporate States of America,/
        And to the conglomerate/
        For which it pays/
        One market, under profit,/
        Credit-driven/
        With liberty and justice/
        For shareholders

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