The rule of law used to mean that the law acted to limit abuse of individual rights and to protect society from lawless behavior. Democrats do not believe in that process so they just make up legal precedent as they go along rather than work for legislation to re-define laws. What that amounts to is a philosophy of democrats, to change laws in an unconstitutional way because they no longer follow the constitution and no one is forcing them to follow it! And now these same bastards have a strong enabler sitting atop the SCOTUS ruling for their approach to changing laws by issuing precedent rather than legislating new law or changes to laws. But make no mistake, when democrats are in complete control of the legislative (as in Harry Reid's lawless control of the Senate), they abuse the system to the max via regulators, czars with unspecified powers to prosecute and Senators who block any effort to follow the Constitution. Harry Reid and Elijah Cummings are enemies of America as defined in the Constitution, but they are great friends to the lawless.
