I wasn't made to take orders. My grandmother used to tell me: 'Laws are for idiots.' She was right.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I don't order laws, I propose them.
Reasonable orders are easy enough to obey; it is capricious, bureaucratic or plain idiotic demands that form the habit of discipline.
Some laws are wrong, and we have an obligation to speak out against those laws wherever they are.
An order to fire on people that do not fire on you is a completely illegal order.
Executive orders are meant for occasional use, not to force something through that the people's elected representatives aren't going to make law.
Never give an order that can't be obeyed.
Obedience of the law is demanded; not asked as a favor.
Your position never gives you the right to command. It only imposes on you the duty of so living your life that others can receive your orders without being humiliated.
I still don't like authority exercised without reason. But they laugh at you at Cambridge if you say that sort of thing. For them, the law is a system of rules not that different from mathematics.
This is why it's bad to run a country by executive order: because our nation runs on laws - when everyone knows the law, and everyone knows what it is, you know both the law and the consequence, and you get that.
