Jack Durish's answer to Is Trump attempting a coup against the Constitution and the rule of law...

Must be drinking a lot of Koolade to ask this question

The "Rule of Law" is, in my opinion, often misunderstood. Some people seem to believe it means that leaders have zero latitude to do anything on their own initiative, or in their own defense or self-interest. Others seem convinced that any law, regardless of how well-established by precedent...should and can be superseded by any mitigating circumstance they deem sufficient. For my own part, I believe the "Rule of Law" is about establishing boundaries those in power cannot cross, regardless of the reason, towards defending the rights and will of the People. In this case, the "will of the People" is very much diametrically opposed-For one side, the only proof of their rights would be Trump's immediate ousting; for others-any attack on the man whatsoever is seen as a personal affront. I tend to agree with what Lamar Alexander said yesterday (though I normally question the good Senator's opinions): There is zero doubt the President asked Ukraine to look into the Bidens' activities...however, there is also nothing in his doing so that constitutes an act of treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors. Demanding an investigation of possible corruption by a former high official is not treason; anything held back from the Ukrainians wasn't so much bribery as leverage, and even if one believes (which incidentally, I do not) it's uncouth to have made such a request...it's hardly a high crime. In quite the opposite direction, subverting the powers of Congress for purely political gain, wasting national treasure and distracting the Government from its true functions, and promoting a partisan rift in the American public...may all be very serious infractions of the public trust indeed; therefore, I hardly believe the President to be acting as a "dictator" in countering the same.

Easy to be brain washed when constantly bombarded with... Dare I say "fake news" or at the least distorted.
