How is this possible when “no one is above the law”? The speech and debate clause of the United States Constitution (Article I, Section 6) reads: “. Because a speech or debate in one of the two chambers (senators and deputies) cannot be questioned elsewhere. In the 1973 decision Doe v. McMillan, “. The (Supreme Court) has ruled that the clause protects acts such as voting, conducting committee hearings, issuing and distributing committee reports, subpoena of information required in congressional investigations, and even reading classified documents stolen from a subcommittee`s public record,” the U.S. Chief District Justice wrote. James L. Buckley, in The Heritage Guide to the Constitution. This may sound like a line from the latest Hollywood blockbuster, but the idea that “no one is above the law” underpins the entire legal system today and is the essence of the rule of law. Given that Congress is constitutionally above the law, how can we trust everything they say in the conduct of the official business of the “people”? The sad truth is that we can`t. Instead, it is the patently false statement that “no one is above the law.” In other words, members of Congress cannot be held accountable for the lies they tell in the course of their official work, including the fact that “no one is above the law.” In contemporary documents, the entire above text is in a single paragraph. We have added pauses to make it easier to read on the Internet.

Our constitutional system of separation and separation of powers provides that members of each branch of government are protected from the legal consequences of exercising their functions as prescribed by the Constitution. Thus, Article I of the Constitution expressly immunizes against the arrest of all members of Congress “during their participation in the sessions of their distinguished chambers and on the way to their departure and departure.” This immunity, while limited, protects lawmakers from arrest for acts for which ordinary citizens could be prosecuted. This limited immunity does not place them “above” the law, since it is the law itself that grants immunity. We have been watching for weeks the legal turmoil surrounding the fate of retired Lieutenant-General Mike Flynn. Each week a new esoteric detail emerges according to the final decision of his case. There`s one thing we can count on, because Flynn briefly served as President Trump`s national security adviser — President Nancy Pelosi and other members of the Democratic leadership sternly reminded us that “no one is above the law.” (A close relative of “we are all equal before the law.”) The consistent policy of the national government, so far as it has the power to do so, is to control the unscrupulous man, whether an employer or an employee; but to refuse to weaken the initiative or to hinder or hinder the industrial development of the country. We recognize that this is an era of federation and combination, in which big capitalist enterprises and trade unions have become factors of enormous importance in all industrial centers. A cordial appreciation is accorded to the considerable and beneficial work done by enterprises and trade unions, and the dividing line between the different bodies, as between the different trade unions, is drawn between different individuals; That is, it is based on behaviour, the effort being to treat both organized capital and organized labor on an equal footing; It requires nothing more that the interest of each be reconciled with the interest of the general public, and that the conduct of each be in conformity with the fundamental rules of obedience to the law, individual liberty and justice, and fairness to all. Whenever a corporation, union or individual disobeys the law or acts in a spirit of arbitrary and tyrannical interference with the rights of others, whether corporations or individuals, the federal government, if it has jurisdiction, will ensure that the misconduct ceases without regard for the position or power of the company. the association or the individual, but only on an essential fact – namely, the question of whether or not the behaviour of the individual or group of individuals is in accordance with the law of the land.

Every human being must be guaranteed his freedom and his right to do what he wants with his property or his work, as long as he does not violate the rights of others. No one is above the law, and no man is below it; Nor do we ask anyone`s permission if we ask them to obey it. Obedience to the law is required as a right; Not asked as a favor.
