00:00At the outset of our nation, it was the character of George Washington, our first president, to find the presidency.
00:06He believed power was limited, not absolute.
00:09And that power always resides with the people, always.
00:14Now, over 200 years later, with today's Supreme Court decision,
00:18once again, it will depend on the character of the men and women who hold that presidency
00:23that are going to define the limits of the power of the presidency,
00:27because the law will no longer do it.
00:31I know I will respect the limits of the presidential powers I have for three and a half years.
00:36But any president, including Donald Trump, will now be free to ignore the law.
00:43I concur with Justice Sotomayor's dissent today.
00:46She hears what she said.
00:48She said, in every use of official power, the president is now a king above the law.
00:54With fear for our democracy, I dissent.
00:58End of quote.
01:00So should the American people dissent.
01:03I dissent.
01:04I dissent.
