Bill Hewitt ’74 demands that Princeton submit to convicted felon Trump; he also demands that Princeton “reaffirm its dedication to ... compliance with the law.” Which is it? It is absurd to insist Princeton accept Trump’s misinterpretation of his executive authority. Trump shows a shocking lack of respect for the Constitution; U.S. laws; and federal judges. Honoring our democracy will instead demand that we repeatedly defy the dictates of our twice-impeached president.
