Gregg Nunziata in The Guardian
Executive Director Gregg Nunziata was quoted in The Guardian discussing the Trump administration’s treatment of rule of law issues:
Gregg Nunziata, executive director of the conservative Society for the Rule of Law which has been strongly critical of some of Trump’s actions, said the president had a point about the constitutional legality of the independent agencies, even if he questioned his motives in wanting to take control of them.
But Nunziata is disturbed by “the increasing suggestions from the White House that the law is what the president says it is”.
“The law is what Congress passes and the supreme court interprets, and the president has an obligation to obey the law. He has an obligation to hire lawyers who make a good faith efforts to interpret what the law requires, not to hire lawyers who are going to be writing him permission slips to do whatever he might like,” he said.
