When the “rule of law” becomes the “rule of the connected,” how do we support it?

Examples: waivers under obamacare to the dems’ allies, TRILLIONS of dollars sent to connected financial institutions by the unaccountable Fed, and even something as simple as Rahm Emmanuel not having to bother with the Chicago residency requirement.

We’re rapidly becoming a nation under the rule of cronyism and kleptocracy, far removed from a nation under the rule of law...

I think you have to hang on when the alternative is the abyss. Certainly when the question at issue is arson, you have to rely on law enforcement. The way I picture the state of things, I don't see the Chicago Police Department looking the other way in an arson case because of the Tea Party.
