Donald Trump may have to learn the hard way the same lesson that other presidents learned when they thought they were above the law or could defy federal court orders. The same people who condemned President Obama for his lawless abuse of executive orders are now defending President Trump for his lawless abuse of executive orders.
Only Trump's abuse already is rising to the levels of Nixon when he orders his Department of Homeland Security to defy several federal judges who have declared that Trump is violating the rights of American citizens with green cards by detaining them at airports.
Trump is not a student of history, but he is about to get a history lesson by not learning from the lessons of other presidents who also thought they were above the tule of law.
