Oh, ok.
So he ignored all constitutional convention and, by the ruling of the court, effectively broke the law (and lied to the head of state). But because he didn't lock up the judges that upheld those rules, he's all ok?
I suppose Putin is a decent guy as well? He may have arrested his political opponent, but Stalin would have had him shot immediately; so Putin is now a democrat, yes?
Did it not need a court ruling to decide if it was illegal or not ? One court actually ruled that it wasn't subject to judicial review. At least he was attempting to implement something decided in a democratic referendum. Comparing him with a dictator is ridiculous. Look what happens to people in Russia/ China who disagree with the government. Of course he has since won a democratic election as well, but people still call him a dictator.
