Will court put president above the law?
After listening to the arguments before the courts about Trump, it looks like the Supreme Court will rule in one form or another that Trump or any future president is above the law as long as he/she thinks it is good for the country. At the very least if they send it back to the lower courts, it means that these cases cannot go forward before the election, and if Trump win’s they will be all dropped.
I think that the people of this country have the right to find out the truth and the whole truth about what Trump did or did not do, before deciding on what person should be president.
I no longer know what country I am living in; I grew up knowing that no person is above the law not even the president. That there were limits to his/her power. That we had a government of checks and balances and that no one part of the government was above the law. But that will all change soon.
Since I was a much younger man, Republicans have always tried to limit the power of the president and have always argued that the courts should follow the original intent of the Founding Fathers in all matters.
Now that has all changed for Trump. Do you really believe that the Founding Fathers wanted a president with unlimited power or that the executive branch would have unlimited power? What happened to checks and balances? What happened to majority rule? What has happened to the people of this country?
Are you really willing to throw away 250 years of our history as a democratic country where no person is above the law? And all of this for Trump
