Rule of Law

All citizens are equal under the law does not mean all people are equal in ability, wealth, or intelligence. The Socialists would have us think that democracy cannot exist until we have equality of ability, wealth, and brain power. That is an insane goal that does not exist now and never will. And never should because it requires that the ‘rule of law’ be abolished before you can enforce a “wok” equality, real or pretended.

The politicalization of the Department of Justice, the FBI, the CIA, Homeland Security, and law enforcement that has occurred over the last few decades is now well established. It will not go away easily. A massive reconstruction of these organizations under a very strong group of elected leaders will be necessary. I do not see that happening soon for a simple weeding out of corrupt politicians will not re-establish the ‘rule of law.’

The DOJ, FBI, CIA, HMS, STATE DEPARTMENT and a few other government organizations need a drastic makeover. These critical organizations are not controlled by a few political leaders of the ruling party. They are controlled by an entrenched civil service cadre who have been in power for decades. They were appointed once and never left. They have spent years hiring and promoting like-minded workers until they now are more powerful than their leaders. These people decide who to investigate and punish.

President Trump’s big mistake was to trust the civil servants, especially those in DOJ and the Intelligence Community. It is a mistake to believe the security and well-being of America depend on an entrenched bureaucracy and their political leaders. The survival of Democracy depends upon constant renewal of the civil service with fresh appointees who leave when their party is defeated by a legal voting process.

Without a real ‘rule of law,’ there can be no freedom. The Constitution depends upon equality of law. The Bill of Rights does not exist without equality under the law.
