Here's an earlier citation for "No one is above the law," from the Kentucky Supreme Court in 1809: "It is the boast of our government, that no officer, however exalted his station may be, is above the law, neither can he indulge a wild, arbitrary, or licentious disposition, without responsibility." Johnston v. Commonwealth, 1 Bibb (4 Ky.) 598 (Ky. 1809). John Baker
