It always matters, whether or not you can trust your government.

I taught the Constitution for ten years, I believe in the Constitution.

What is our recourse, Mr. Speaker? What is our remedy?

The president already has a Nobel Prize for peace. I think he's shooting for one in fiction.

If a president can change some laws, can he change ALL laws? Can he change election laws? Can he change discrimination laws? Are there any laws, under your theory, that he actually HAS to enforce?

It always matters, whether or not you can trust your government.

Even someone as lowly as an assistant U.S. attorney has to undergo a background check, and you're asked a series of very invasive questions, and you're expected to tell the truth and they're under penalty of perjury. And you're asked those questions so you can't be blackmailed or extorted.
