English term or phrase: to chop and change as it suits one
Greetings,

I refer to my previous question about the law of the Medes and the Persians:

This was the first time ever that the concept of the law being above the ruler rather than the ruler being above the law came into being as far as I know: yes, Cyrus and his successors made the laws, but when they had made them they couldn't just chop and change as it suited them.

This simply means to change and modify things exactly as one pleases.

Best wishes, and many thanks,

Simon

Explanation:
to chop and change also means از این شاخه به آن شاخه پریدن, but I don't think it can fit here.
