In my day, the president ruled with authority before the law, but now all that is lost.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
When a president makes up law as he goes, no one knows what the law is anymore.
I created no authority that wasn't already there under the constitution.
This is a case if the President is permitted to be above the law, then we no longer have a republic.
The current constitutional law places the president of the republic in an embarrassing situation.
I followed the law. Before God, before the law, before the people of the state of Florida who elected me, I know that I followed the law.
If the president is allowed to suspend constitutional rights on his own personal whims, our free republic has effectively ceased to exist.
It is a dark, unspoken truth that the powerful - the 'ruling class' - make up the rules as they go along.
I always believe the rule by king or official leader is outdated. Now we must catch up with the modern world.
As a lawyer and a former prosecutor, I know the limits of the power and authority of the president. I know what is legal and what is not.
It was not the president's responsibility to run a law enforcement operation. It was ours.
