Collapse in the Rule of Law is a Precursor to the fall of Gov’t

I have often received emails asking why I did not want to become a lawyer. The rule of law has no true validity. It is applied without reason and often technically. The law is NEVER applied with reason. A high-profile case that mirrors this scenario is that of Genarlow Wilson in Georgia. In 2003, at age 17, he engaged in consensual oral sex with a 15-year-old at a New Year’s party. He was convicted of aggravated child molestation, a felony requiring a mandatory 10-year prison sentence and sex offender registration. Public outcry and media attention eventually led to his sentence being re-examined; he served over 2 years before the law itself was changed and he was released. His case highlighted the potential cruelty of laws without close-in-age protections.

A man read a story about an illegal alien being deported who was from Afghanistan and pleaded not to be deported for he would be killed by the Taliban. The prosecutor did not care. When the story was reported, a reader wrote to the prosecutor.

“Mr. Dernbach, don’t play Russian roulette with H’s life,” he wrote. “Err on the side of caution. There’s a reason the US government along with many other governments don’t recognise the Taliban. Apply principles of common sense and decency.”

As the Washington Post wrote, “five hours and one minute later, Jon was watching TV with his wife when an email popped up in his inbox. He noticed it on his phone. “Google,” the message read, “has received legal process from a Law Enforcement authority compelling the release of information related to your Google Account.” Listed below was the type of legal process: “subpoena.” And below that, the authority: “Department of Homeland Security.”

As the Post went on, “soon would come a knock at the door by men with badges and, for Jon, the relentless feeling of being surveilled in a country where he never imagined he would be.” The American Revolution began over the 4th Amendment – illegal search and seizure. The courts have undermined that right because they are the hand-maiden of government. There are NOT there to restrain government, but to enable them to circumvent your human and constitutional rights they regard as a nuisance.
