NAN A. S. HAYWORTH: “It is important to make the distinction between charges and crimes. ... no one, no one, no prince, no potentate, no…”

On the recordSeptember 16, 1998
It is important to make the distinction between charges and crimes. ... no one, no one, no prince, no potentate, no President is above the law. For in this constitutional republic, if we abandon that notion, then one should simply take a match to this document or tear it asunder. For the rule of law will crumble as will this last best hope of mankind.
