Senator Chris Murphy expressed grave concerns about President Trump's willingness to defy court rulings, emphasizing that this could signify the death of democracy. In a conversation with CNN's Kaitlan Collins, Murphy reiterated the principle that the rule of law is foundational to democracy, stating that no one, including the President, is above the law. He highlighted the historical importance of courts in checking executive power. The implications of ignoring judicial decisions, he warned, could undermine the entire legal framework that governs the country.
Yes, listen, I mean, this isn't hyperbole to say that we are staring the death of democracy in the eyes, right now.
The centerpiece of our democracy is that we observe court rulings... No one is above the law.
If the President of the United States says, You know what, I don't care what the courts say, I'm going to do whatever the hell I want? That's essentially the end of the rule of law.
