    The trouble with just ignoring law is that when the guys you don’t agree with are in charge, they now have justification to ignore the laws too.

        No, but we need someone too. The war in Ukraine isn’t worth the loss of the rule of law.

      They didn’t need or care to manufacture justification under the last president.
