I wonder, was the new ironic relevance of this sentence appreciated at the time it was put here? (This comment made: May 2017)

Does that mean that I’m allowed to do all the things that my country’s president did, even those that were supposed to be illegal? Since he did them, it’s legal now, isn’t it? All those possibilities suddenly appearing before my eyes.

Når presten gjør det, betyr det at det er ikke umoralsk.
