Governments that were not considered authoritarian have broken laws as well. This didn't start with Trump, I would say Trump is a result of laws being ignored.

Governments that were not considered authoritarian have broken laws as well. This didn't start with Trump, I would say Trump is a result of laws being ignored. For the fight against terrorism or any other shit de jours that caused the current outrage. So now any reference to laws sound hollow. It doesn't mean anything. What mattered is what governments used their power for.
