The King, the courts and the rules above the rules, sentence 3

Think of a football match where even the team captain gets a yellow card for a foul: in the same way, a minister or even a former leader must go to court if accused, because nobody is above the law, and being accused is not the same as being guilty.

Who acts: you, team captain, minister, nobody · What happens: think, get, go, accuse, be, not be · To what, where: yellow card, same way, law
