"He who saves his country, violates no law" is a purported quotation of dubious origins attributed to Napoleon Bonaparte.

Among the latter, under pretence of governing they have divided their nations into two classes, wolves and sheep.”
Thomas Jefferson, Letter to Edward Carrington, January 16, 1787

You just wrote several sentences of deflecting strawman gobbledygook, not even responding to what I wrote.

Biden got shut down by the courts with student loans, rightfully so. Trump is going to get shut down on some of these things too.

Would you be okay if AOC gets elected president and has the same mindset as Trump about executive power?

In this scenario, is she exposing corruption and the corrupt are trying to block her?

Reminds me of Lincoln.
And Jefferson Davis.

Jefferson Davis, the president of the Confederacy, suspended the writ of habeas corpus multiple times during the Civil War. This allowed the government to arrest and detain people without trial or with a military trial.

Is that example of suspending habeas corpus supposed to differentiate Davis from Lincoln? Because it doesn't.

Lincoln was almost immediately backed up by Congress for his actions. His violation of the Constitution, while possibly the wrong action was done so because Congress was inaugurated almost a month after he took his office.

If you say you hate the state of politics in this nation and you don't get involved in it, you obviously don't hate the state of politics in this nation.
