Is the trump administration above the law?

If it's not obvious to everyone by now, it never will be.
Each day, they take new shots at our laws and constitution; and just like in his last term, all will be forgotten.

Until the law finally nails them.

The question is, exactly how and when will that happen?

So far, it's not at all clear. Republicans ultimately pushed Nixon out. But today's crop has no moral compass whatsoever.

If we're allowed to ever win an election again, we need to go after them hard enough they never try this crap again.

Law is something you use to crush the vanquished.

He felt that way when the law made him sweat, and he feels the same way now.

Rule of law has become meaningless sloganeering for me.
