The U.S. was founded on the rule of law, and that the law would apply equally to all. Unfortunately...

Since its founding, our nation has supposedly been governed by the rule of law rather than the rule of men.  Though not perfect, and sometimes requiring amendment, our Constitution has--mostly successfully--guided the behavior of our government for more than two centuries.

In doing so, by applying the rule of law, and the principle that all people are to be treated equally under the law, it has guaranteed Americans freedom, and the prosperity freedom produces.

But that freedom and prosperity is only obtained when citizens feel confident that the government follows the law, and the law is applied equally to all--or as equally as possible.

When citizens begin to recognize Orwell’s famous line “All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others” in their daily lives and on their streets and television screens, civilization’s days are numbered.

Unfortunately, this is exactly what Americans are seeing today.
