The United States has the Golden Rule: He/She who has the Gold Rules.
The United States has The Rule of Power Rule: The Powerful Rule.
You probably heard Hillary Clinton say, "We have the Rule of Law, not Man". Yet she who has committed every crime known to man and a lot that are not. Remains free as a bird. Of her other accomplishments: She is the only person fired by a Democrat for lying.
The media picked up that quote from her and their parrots did the rest.

About Lawfare: A Brief History of the Term and the Site
Lawfare went live on September 1, 2010. Ben’s first post set forth our general aims and, belatedly, our reasons for selecting our title:
Welcome to Lawfare, a new blog by Robert Chesney, Jack Goldsmith, and myself. For those readers familiar with our prior writings, our subject will come as no surprise: We mean to devote this blog to that nebulous zone in which actions taken or contemplated to protect the nation interact with the nation’s laws and legal institutions. We will, I am sure, construe this subject broadly to include subjects as far-flung as cybersecurity, Guantánamo habeas litigation, targeted killing, biosecurity, universal jurisdiction, the Alien Tort Statute, the state secrets privilege and countless other related and not-so-related matters. . . .
The name Lawfare refers both to the use of law as a weapon of conflict and, perhaps more importantly, to the depressing reality that America remains at war with itself over the law governing its warfare with others. This latter sense of the word—which is admittedly not its normal usage—binds together a great deal of our work over the years. It is our hope to provide an ongoing commentary on America’s lawfare, even as we participate in many of its skirmishes.
