I’ll show you the line that was crossed.
The Rule of Law is supposed to lift law above politics. The idea is that the law should stand above every powerful person and agency in the land.
Rule by law, in contrast, connotes the instrumental use of law as a tool of political power. It means that the state uses law to control its citizens but tries never to allow law to be used to control the state.
Rule of Law: law is above politics.
YOU ARE HERE
Rule by Law: control the individual.
Right there!
If they don’t pray in our schools then we won’t think in their church.
That’s fair.
