It should not be radical for the American Bar Association to say that it supports the rule of law. But right now, it is. Let's see some other orgs taking a similar stance.

I'm not trying to be cynical or funny, but I made this flow chart titled "Is the President breaking the law?" to organize my thoughts and stop spinning my wheels about what to do. I welcome constructive criticism from anyone with more political science knowledge than me. How accurate is this?
