That rule of law thingy

Ted Sorenson--a John Kennedy advisor--addresses law students:

“In a country based on the rule of law, in which no man is above the law, whatever his rank or title, no man can undertake, authorize or immunize unlawful conduct,” Sorensen said.

“Our current wonderful president cannot promise the CIA practitioners of torture that they will not be prosecuted,” he said.

Right. And yet you never heard so much as an "Um, he can't do that" from the establishment punditry when Obama made his royal proclamation.
