Governor Janet Mills

A few months ago, I stood in the White House, and when confronted by the President of the United States, I told him I'd see him in court.

Well, I did see him in court, and we won.

I am so pleased to say that Aaron Fry's able representation of the state of Maine has resulted in a binding agreement by the US Department of Agriculture, Brooke Rollins and all of her staff,

whereby they agree to refrain from freezing, terminating, or otherwise interfering with the State of Maine's access to USDA funds allocated to any official or agency or department of the State of Maine based on alleged violations of Title IX.

Thanks.

Thanks, Ben.

It's great to be on the show.

Hey, listen, that was a jaw-dropping moment for me and I think for a lot of people across the country.

And what I said, I wasn't sure anybody even heard it, but I guess they did because what was...

jaw-dropping for me was when the President of the United States said, he is the law.

I mean, my God.

Nobody says that.

And, you know, as an American citizen, that just really took me off guard and was astonishing.

The President of the United States is supposed to take care that the laws be faithfully executed.

That's what the Constitution says.

He's not supposed to be making up laws or amending laws or

or repealing laws by executive order, by tweet, by press conference, press release.

That's not his job and that's not his, he's not authorized under the Constitution to do that.

So that's what threw me back as an American citizen, as a lawyer.

You know, what could I say?
