The rule of law is not a slogan

The rule of law only matters when it restrains power, protects opponents and reminds everyone no one stands above it.

The rule of law is not a slogan
This Matters with Bill Britt

When law becomes optional for the powerful, justice becomes negotiable for everyone else.

The rule of law is repeated so often that it can begin to sound like a slogan. But it is far more than that.

In “This Matters,” Bill Britt examines why the rule of law must apply to friends and enemies alike—and why constitutional government depends on limits, accountability and restraint.

Because without the rule of law, all we have is power. And power without law is not freedom.
