“The Constitution lives!”

“Mr. President—are you asking me, a member of the executive branch, to ‘talk to’”—
Parley hand-signed quotation marks—“a sitting judge about a case he’s currently adjudicating, in an effort to sway his view of the case?”
“I’m suggesting a simple conversation, Parley. ‘Hi, Judge. Parley here. How’s it going?’ What’s wrong with that? It’s not like I’m interfering with an FBI investigation or something.”
“Nothing is wrong with that, the way you phrased it, sir,” Parley conceded. “Sometimes though, it is the appearance of impropriety that gets one in trouble, sir.”

“This is a constitutional democracy, not a dictatorship. Unchecked power, even if well-intentioned, is the reason the geniuses that founded our democracy set it up the way they did.”

“The President of the United States just offered me a bribe to decide a case in a way that promotes his agenda. He conveyed that bribe through the Attorney General of the United States. Who do you report something like this to?”
