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

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

We are a country of laws

Actually we are a country of criminals and clowns right now.

We are a country of corporations and shareholders

FTFY

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....

Have they Asked the Supreme Court if that's True?

[-] stoy@lemmy.zip 4 points 1 month ago

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.

So says the lower courts.

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