800 YEARS THROWN AWAY - 3
Our Founding Fathers were all brought up and educated in the British tradition of law and rights. They inherited the principle that no one is above the law as an obvious and settled truth, as essentially sacred. And so it has remained, a bed rock feature of our democracy and jurisprudence.
800 YEARS THROWN AWAY - 2
That rule was put to the test 434 years later, in 1649. Charles I inherited the crown from his father, James I (also the VI of Scotland) whose reign created the United Kingdom. He proclaimed that he was an absolute monarch, not subject to, or obliged to enforce, the laws of Parliament. He was arrested, tried and found guilty on the charge of treason, and beheaded.
Yes, they took it seriously.
800 YEARS THROWN AWAY - 1
809 years ago in the year 1215, John, King of England, signed a document that set in English law and governance the principle and custom that no one, not even the King, is above the law. That was the Magna Carta, the Great Charter.
You might wonder whether, in an age of absolute monarchs anointed by God who literally owned the countries they ruled, the people and lesser authorities took this radical notion seriously.
IT SERVED ENGLAND AND AMERICA WELL FOR 800 YEARS, AND THEY THREW IT AWAY
@Teri_Kanefield Sorry, Teri, i don't know of one, but it isn't a thing I've looked for. I rely on "Follow" and on my list of bookmarks, some of which I run through and check every day (including your blog).
@Teri_Kanefield I suspect that anybody whom the government can build a case on for billion dollar fraud knows full well that Trump is not standing in the way of that prosecution, except, perhaps, due to his using up so much prosecutorial time and talent for a while. But that's not the argument he's making. He's saying that the case is baseless, all trumped up (no pun intended) and that they can do that to you, the little guy. How he is preventing them from doing that is a bit unclear.
@Teri_Kanefield And has run through a lot of fixers.
Hi, Teri.
I expect we will be learning some of that thinking. 😁

@Teri_Kanefield One could ask in this case of the Trump-Meadowes relationship, what would be the point of going along to "offer good advice" when the client or superior simply will not take any advice that doesn't confirm what he is going to do anyway? Still, Meadowes may argue in his defense that his only other choice was to resign and (hopefully) blow the whistle.
