“Listen, just because some paid for Supreme Court justices make a ruling that you can do anything as an official act, doesn’t give you supreme executive power, that comes from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical corrupt judges.”

You can't expect to wield supreme executive power just 'cause some compromised Justice threw immunity at you.

Yeah, but in those days a weak ruler meant a more evil ruler would take over thru violence or lack of support for the current ruler...

It's still true, but it was in those days too

I have no clue what that has to do with my modified Montey Python quote.

that comes from a mandate from the masses

And a weak ruler is one without a mandate of the masses.

Historically speaking, they don't hang on to power long.

In this sketch, Dennis tells Arthur that they're an anarcho-syndaclist ~~collective~~ commune. Maybe they were onto something...

I doubt he's going to settle for king, pretty sure it'll be Emperor at least.
