A Unique Awfulness...
Bill Barr Must Resign
The attorney general is working to destroy the integrity and independence of the Justice Department, in order to make Donald Trump a president who can operate above the law.
The fundamental problem is that he does not believe in the central tenet of our system of governmentthat no person is above the law. In chilling terms, Barrs own words make clear his long-held belief in the need for a virtually autocratic executive who is not constrained by countervailing powers within our government under the constitutional system of checks and balances.
Indeed, given our national faith and trust in a rule of law no one can subvert, it is not too strong to say that Bill Barr is un-American. And now, from his perch as attorney general, he is in the midst of a root-and-branch attack on the core principles that have guided our justice system, and especially our Department of Justice, since the 1970s.

Emphasis mine
Without just justice - it is literally in the word - democracy cannot exist, it is impossible.
