I am the law. I hate to say this, but he's not the law. Congress makes the laws. And we had a bill about trans athletes, and that's the way this should proceed. He doesn't get to write a law, call it an executive order. An executive order is not a law. And the governor's position is, look, I'm just obeying Maine law.
