    Yes. We are a country of laws, not a country of men.

        I pledge allegiance/
        To the brand/
        Of the Corporate States of America,/
        And to the conglomerate/
        For which it pays/
        One market, under profit,/
        Credit-driven/
        With liberty and justice/
        For shareholders

    The Supreme Court responds with “Everything Trump says and does is legal.”
