>>>He really thinks he's the "Little Emperor".<<<


"JONATHAN TURLEY, CONSTITUTIONAL LAW PROFESSOR, GEORGE WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY: You know, the fact is, this president has an obsession with this concept of an absolute ruler, the absolutely president. And he‘s surrounded himself with fairly radical law professors who told him what he wanted to hear, that you could take a citizen off the street, unilaterally strip him of all of his rights, hold him until you wanted to release him, if at all.

And people like Viet Din (ph) and others told him that. And so they facilitated this obsession. And you still see that. He will not let go of this idea that he has this type of Caesar-like authority."
