From Watergate - "A Government of Laws, not men......."

A discussion with an authority on Archibald Cox, the Special Prosecutor who subpoenaed Nixon to release the tapes of secretly recorded Oval Office conversations.

A bit from the text regarding how Mr. Cox might respond to the current Attorney General: “He felt that if an attorney general didn’t have the moral fortitude to stand up to a president, that attorney general shouldn’t be in the position in the first place."

Interesting read - more to find in the article...........
