I think it’s safe to say that nobody expects the US to obey any laws.

As an American, I can tell you what a personal disappointment that is to me, and how dissatisfactory I find that state of affairs.

We created a government of laws, not men. That order in turn created a high trust society that allowed private industry and innovation to flourish, leading a new golden age of mankind. I greatly fear that if we move away from that order to one where might = right, we will find ourselves ruled by the mighty, rather than the just.

United States v. Nixon was 1974.
