[aside: i really like cell phones in 2022.  pretty amazing that they have multiple computing cores each hundreds of times faster than single core laptop or desktop processors from thirty years ago.
however, they really suck at browsing.  searching for anything on the internet by using a cellphone is a miserable experience.  developers really need to focus less on expanding screen size and work more on optimizing for everyday usage of external displays and outboard peripherals.]

 

oh, didn't try to sell clothing emblazoned with appropriate victimhood.

i've posted about this before.  i'd been annoyed by people using the phrase "rule of law" from time to time, but had never looked into it.

"rule of law" does apply in countries outside the united states.  however, the "rule of law" very much does not exist in the united states.  in england their rule of law insists that royalty and anyone else, regardless of their profession, be considered equally accountable under their laws.

constitutional protections for members of our federal legislature aren't available to everyone facing misdemeanor arrest (possibly to prevent harassment by the executive or state needlessly hindering our legislative process).  obviously that is not compatible with the british rule of law.

in other countries, at least two in europe, rule of law refers to rights belonging to anyone that should not be violated.  here in america our rights are provided for and protected by our government's founding document, the constitution.  so why are there so many people speaking publicly about the rule of law as if it did apply in america?

possibly it is because public officials and even officers of our courts agree to accept heightened liability under our laws.

to be fair to the trump administration, trump may not have been held accountable for almost four years.  the obama, bush, and clinton administrations each failed to hold trump accountable for eight.

update 6 - 5 - 2022

 similar to rule of law in our adversarial justice system?

allowing for the consideration of precedent in court,

intending to provide fair justice through our legal procedures, precedent

only applies when the argument fits (both prior and current) considered instances.

just calling precedent rule of law could have consequences.

conflating precedent to ignore constitutional protections?

committed grievous error.
