Is the rule of law in the US dead?

[Anonymous]

I think it is - today Trump walked away from any meaningful sentence for his lawbreaking. I think that ended any fairness or equity in our system of justice.

oh no, if you screw up you will be nailed to the wall. I saw a young fella in the news not long ago... so successful at the top of his game... decided to go race his new sports car an dI believe he had some drinks... nails a person crossing the road. He's doing a long time in prison.

Law is only for the weak that can get chewed up by lawyers. If you have enough lawyers, structure your life right, and the right power, you can get away with almost anything. Ask OJ... oh, he's gone as are most of his lawyers. Ask Rodney King... whom raced a car through neighborhood while intoxicated and then after resisting arrest, sued and won millions. F'ing BS! Ask all the cops that have gotten away with murder. You make your own list...

Ask Rudy Guliani how things are going...

When was it ever alive, really?

From stealing from Native Indians, to slavery, to colonialism, and back to exploitation and war for profit.

The US has been a parasite of a nation back from when the British gave it up as a lost cause.

Long dead
It's not so much the law as who will or will not enforce that law.

[Asker]

Also, who or who will not follow the law to begin with.
