Ive allways wondered the point of putting presedents like this into writing, I beleave the reason is to ligitimize it. From “we can do evil but our court trial will look like Trump’s trial, and thats a headache and a risk”. Now it is “ligitimate” to break the law and a “just action done for the good of our nation”.
Yes. Its like riding a bike up a hill vs down one, making it “ligitimate” according to the machenery skips the mandated step of prosicution where the kangaroo court is at least semi-visable and at least faintly accountable to the public.
