Condi Rice plays Nixon,.

For many months this past winter we were hit with an ad campaign for "Frost/Nixon." The most famous clip from the movie was one of Nixon's most famous comments. 'If the President does it, it's not illegal.

Condi seems to favor that argument:

"The president instructed us that nothing we would do would be outside of our obligations, legal obligations under the Convention Against Torture... The United States was told, we were told, nothing that violates our obligations under the Convention Against Torture, and so by definition, if it was authorized by the president, it did not violate our obligations under the Convention Against Torture," - Condi Rice.

Contemplate that for a minute. Our former Nat/Sec advisor and Sec/State straight out said that the President is above the law. Strike that, he is the law.  

I don't think there is any doubt left that the GOP is a cult.
