Napoleon-"He who saves his country, violates no law."
- Hitler– “The good of the state stands above the law.”
- Mussolini– “Everything within the state, nothing outside the state, nothing against the state.”
- Francisco Franco– “I am responsible only to God and to history.”
History buffs will know that every authoritarian leader eventually converges on some version of: "I *am* the state. I can not break the law, I am the law, the law is instantiated in me."
Our march to authoritarianism so far has been excruciatingly by-the-book. Hitting every beat. No surprises.
He who saves his Country does not violate any Law.
