Anakin, my allegiance is to the Republic, to Democracy! So you accept the authority of the democratically elected Senate? Of course. Then you must accept the authority of Chancellor Palpatine which he got through that very Senate. No, the Jedi decide what authority is legitimate. The Jedi are above the law. Another Jedi lie exposed. I should have known the Jedi were plotting to take over. No one who considers themselves to be above the law is to be trusted. The Jedi are evil!
