Does the rule of Law apply to president elect Trump? Or will he rule as a dictator?

[UCmeNdc]

Will Trump be asked to submit to questioning about his knowledge of Russian Intelligence activities or will he dictate he is above being questioned?

Do we allow a man to say what the law is or do we say no you will obey the law?

1. No it doesn't appear to nt

[SamKnause]

2. The rule of law applies to the 99%.

It does not apply to the 1%.

Money buys 'justice', poverty insures prison.

Republicans have never been big admirers of the rule of law.

They lie, they cheat, they misinform, they omit, and they

rewrite history.

3. Congress will declare marshal law after it comes out Trump was in on the hacking.

[Crunchy Frog]

4. I don't see much evidence for Rule of Law in this country as it is.

I don't see that improving any with Trump. I think he pretty much believes he's entitled to do whatever the fuck he wants.

[UCmeNdc]

5. It seems no one can control Trump. He makes his own law?

[WhiteTara]

6. He's a dictator and with all branches of government

in his pocket, he will not hesitate to act as one.

[DanTex]

7. Dictator. nt

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

8. Watergate demonstrated that the President was not above the law.

Trump will try to be a dictator. I can only hope that enough in Congress will understand how wrong that is and shut him down.

13. Today's GOP Congressional majority would NEVER have brought articles

of impeachment against Nixon. Wouldn't even have had a spirited discussion about it.

9. The only thing limiting the President's power is Congress.

The Republican Congress.

[Rex]

10. The rule of law cannot apply to him, the POTUS is immune.

Oh sure, there is that silly Constitution thingy...but since when has Congress or the WH ever taken it seriously?

[duffyduff]

11. He is a puppet.

The GOP might have to order a straitjacket for this guy by the time this is over with.

[BlueProgressive]

12. "On grounds of protecting national security, I decline to answer,"

he said, while wrapping his loathsome naked body in the stars and stripes...

[Orsino]

14. If there were an uncompromised branch of government left to apply the rule of law.

As it is, my hopes are not high.
