He obviously believes this, it part of his source of "justification." But I wonder how many of the VOTERS share is lack of concern? I know, it IS LA, but the "elites" may find that not all voters share their lack of concern for right and wrong, marital fidelity, and being a leader that people want to represent THEM.

Abuse of power? Entitlement of position?

As the US Senate found out recently, they ARE elected to REPRESENT the people, not to have blank check to do whatever they THEY think they want to do.

It will be interesting to see how this all plays out.

Yep. And a good many of them are elected. Perhaps the moral decay in general is just leading to more and more brazeness and a sense of "I can get away with virtually anything I want."
