Political Quotes

“I believe that this Nation sits at a crossroad. One direction points to the high road of the rule of law. Sometimes hard, sometimes unpleasant. This path relies on truth, justice, and the rigorous application of the principle that no man is above the law. Now, the other road is the path of least resistance. This is where we start making exceptions to our laws based on poll numbers and spin control. This is when we pitch the law completely overboard when the mood fits us; when we ignore the facts in order to cover up the truth. Shall we follow the rule of law and do our constitutional duty no matter how unpleasant, or shall we follow the path of least resistance, close our eyes to the potential law breaking, forgive and forget, move on, and tear an unfixable hole in our legal system? No man is above the law and no man is below the law. That is the principle that we all hold dear in this country. The President has many responsibilities and many privileges. His chief responsibility is to uphold the laws of this land.”
