Two quotes follow by Laurence Tribe, an unabashed Biden supporter—Still, made when Trump was president. Why do I detect an underlying lack of double standard and unprincipled reasoning on his part?

"The whole country needs to get to the bottom of what really happened with the Russian collusion allegations. But in the meantime, we have a president Donald Trump who himself says trust me. He does not accept the boundaries of law. He basically says that if anybody gets too close for comfort, I'm going to get rid of them. And as long as that's in place, we cannot afford as a country to put our fate in the hands of someone so whimsical and so unpredictable."
Laurence Tribe

"The only way to avoid a constitutional crisis, and I'm not saying we're there yet, is to reassure the public that the person leading the government is someone who has loyalties other than to himself, not loyalties to the foreign governments that helped him financially."
