"The Rule of Law" is a problem... not THE problem. Part of the problem is that even if "The Law" could be enforced without the enforcement arm of the state imploding on itself, it still would be just an opinion with a process that is pre-decided by some that was legitimate. Others would likely disagree.Maddy wrote: ↑Thu Dec 12, 2019 11:08 amI love this forum.
Huh?
Now you've managed to display your ignorance of my profession as well. You claim that the "rule of law" is the problem, and then attempt to substantiate that proposition by citing one instance after another in which the law has been bastardized, trampled or thrown entirely by the wayside. You should take ten giant steps back and take a good, critical look at the side you're rooting for.
The other part of the problem is that because the system can't enforce all laws without imploding, that huge imbalanced priorities are made about when/how to enforce which laws, and people quickly go from wanting some laws enforced to wanting others not enforced based on moving goalposts of reasoning.
I didn't really give examples, so I'm not sure what you're talking about. I more or less said that conservatives and centrists are clownish and hypocritical on "The Rule of Law," just as many on the left are, though not all of them try to communicate "Rule of Law" values as their driving moral force, but some other moral priority.
What "side" do you assume I'm rooting for? I'm not terribly confident on impeachment. I have mixed feelings on it. What I am confident is that Trumpanzees have no f'ing idea what they're talking about, and are hopeless tribal boobs.
