They have believed that the Constitution has a bill of “negative rights”. B. S. Obozo
They mean themselves in power.
I rememeber when Pelosi said that Trump was an enemy of the state, posting right here on FR, that he may be, but he is a friend to the people.
The state no longer reflects the legal citizens of this country. And by “state”, I mean “deep state”, also known as the Uniparty.
All animals are equal, but some are more equal than others.
(Meaning the vile, corrupt, ruthless, Establishment powers that are ever-plotting to eliminate the competition by any means necessary.)
Great headline and topic regarding President Trump, to match with that Obama "vow" on the top beam of WTC 1. Never forget:

This was written with much fanfare on June 14th, 2012. Flag Day, which was New Yorker Donald Trump's 66th birthday.
Numbers 24:10 And Balak's anger was kindled against Balaam, and he smote his hands together: and Balak said unto Balaam, I called thee to curse mine enemies, and, behold, thou hast altogether blessed them these three times.
It's like what rabbis say about Purim, the Megillah -- if it weren't written down for all time who would ever believe it, because the story is way too bizarre.
But then came Trump, who actually meant the people when he said the people. And thats one principal reason why the statists who hitherto championed themselves as guardians of the interests of the people hate him with such incandescent intensity.
A true perversion of “government by the people”. Government by the people WE APPROVE is more like it.
