“It’s not over. We can’t have an American people that violate the law and then just walk away from it. So it’s not over.”

The last time I checked, it was the people not the government that has the final say into what’s a violation of the law and what’s not... (ever hear of a jury?)

I think you would be surprised at the number of conservatives who are against the idea of jury-nullification… esp. WRT things like the War on Drugs, it's almost as if they've been brainwashed into thinking that every aspect of life rightly belongs in the legal arena and under the [federal] government.

“...an American people that violate the law...”

That is the creepiest thing I have heard yet from the current administration and Reid/Pelosi. Reid seems to set himself above and apart from “an American people” as if we are all foreigners subject to his rule. He also could have said, “We can’t have a herd of sheep who don’t do what they are told.”
