The context of the following conversation is Carson carried that legislation into effect even though it was unpopular with the public and the other political party.:
Carson says We have to pass this bill, it is best for our people..
The friend responds I strongly disagree, this is a partisan bill with no clear standing..
Carson responds It is about time that this country did something more active for its people..
The friend responds It was hardly even voted for in the state senate, you should not push this one through..
Carson responds I typically do not do this, but I will reserve my right to do so as governor..
The friend responds That is all fine and well, just remember that I advised against it..
