"Saddam Hussein after his capture addressed the court with the same challenge that Charles I threw at his judges: ?By what legal authority do you try me??" "Therefore, let me know by what authority I am called hither." ...and therein trusted with a limited power to govern by and according to the laws of the land, and not otherwise;... "?Lex is Rex?, is what they?d said in the ship money case. The king is the law, the king is above the law, and the king can?t be brought to trial." "-- the president is always right, Senator."
