Guess what, they had lawyers in the Soviet Union, too. Modern tyrannies often maintain a facade of rule of law. There are also systems, like the United States, where rule of law still operates in many spheres while others have been exempted (examples of the latter include the "national security" state, "too big to fail" banks, "terrorism" and the drug war).
For example, when the NSA collects and stores every phone call and every e-mail and then lies to everyone about it including under oath, making a joke of this "constitution," it is still possible for blind supporters of authoritarianism (like yourself as long as the president is a "D"
to claim that hey, it's all LEGAL. They passed laws and made interpretations that make it so. Hooray!
Tyranny is an arbitrary power that gets to mock mere laws and lawyers and due process and all the bullshit you are also laughing at.
Fine work for the team!
