The rule of law is the cornerstone of the success of our country and the erosion of the rule of law has and will result in the degradation of the quality of life of us all. The local examples of our right abuse of power sent shivers up my spine. Unfortunately it is easy to see how Americans are increasingly confused between law “fairness”. As I try to reason with my 14 year old son why people that come into our country unlawfully are allowed to stay and as I try to reason with a teacher friend why the senior debt held by his teacher’s retirement fund has been declared subordinate to the UAW I realize how far we have gone already.
