What "rule of law" are you speaking of?
There is no law stating the the mayor of Chicago does not have to stop at red lights, or that his motorcade can flaunt speed limits.
Elected office only has as much dignity as those who hold it can maintain trust of the people. The people have not surrendered their powers to magistrates, but instead have delegated those powers, without loss of their own rights under the law.
Elected office is not for assumed "perks" which place those individuals who are elected to office under other sets of laws, or else all are not equal under the law.
The assumption that they are not, that elected officials are above laws applicable to everyone else --- that is akin to the thinking of feudal lords of Europe.
Get your mind right, Fester.
The “rule of law” of which I speak is that which distinguishes one office over another and grants privileges not common to all. It’s not that complicated, sir.
For cryin’ out loud, it’s an official motorcade!! “Man, those people in funeral processions, why do they get to run all the red light’s too? They should follow the law like everybody else. Who do they think they are?”
