You know very well that I don't feel that rule of law should be abolished.
Yet its slow roll abolishment is happening. So try to put me aside and consider any differences in what we see.
Have you seen enforced rule of law anywhere in government? The executive,? its cabinet? its DOJ? Even Sotomayor calls out SCOTUS for its biased, pro-Trump enforcement of law. Even at the lower federal court level, criminals found guilty are still walking around -- Michael Flynn, Roger Stone, Donald Trump -- through "deals" and "settlements."
Are you afraid to consider that unenforced law is as good as abolished? I am. But I can't deny what I see.
Had WE come up with enforcement mechanisms for true RULE of law, we ourselves wouldn't even be here. What the Law provided us for defending it has failed. The November last protection isn't guaranteed, either.
What I "feel" is that rule of law only exists by enforcement. So I can NOT feel that it SHOULD be abolished, and I see its slow roll abolishment.
Judges are alarmed all over the constitutional level of the judiciary. It's not because law isn't on the books and they can't apply them; they do. It's because their ability to enforce those laws is now revealed.
Rule of law won't live in a nation that fails in enforcement.
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
