There was some nastier language than that.
But, oh, yeah, he came up one morning when he was in a foul mood and blasted me again.
And I thought I just ignored it because I don't get engaged with the president of the United States on tweets and social media.
My mother always said, don't get into a pissing match with a skunk, right?
But, you know, that exchange was really strange.
It was jaw dropping for me because when the president of the United States, no matter what the issue is, when he says to you, I, we are the federal law, you go, no, no.
I mean, I'm an American citizen and I'm a lawyer and I read the Constitution.
You are not the law.
The Constitution says that you have to take care that the laws be faithfully executed and
not invented, created or amended by tweet or executive order or press release.
You're not the law.
So it was jaw dropping to me.
And when I said, oh, he said, are you going to follow my executive order?
I said, I'm going to comply with state and federal law.
When he said, I am the law, I said, what any American citizen would say, I'll see you in court.
And so a little while after that,
he told his Department of Agriculture to stop funding Maine schools, which meant 170,000 school kids would go without the school lunch program.
I thought, well, that doesn't make any sense.
So we went to court and a Republican appointed judge, a federal judge appointed by a Republican president gave us a ruling that said, no, you can't do that.
You can't just stop funding school lunch programs because you disagree with state policy on transgender athletes.
