Goodbye Rule of Law

The foundation of our Republic is the rule of law. If the Constitution and the process it prescribes for adopting and enforcing statutes is supplanted by another, arbitrary and unaccountable arrangement, America will be fundamentally transformed.

Of course, the country’s fundamental transformation is what Barack Obama promised in 2008. Now, instead of the rule of law, our governing arrangement is one in which he decides the rules.

So, as former federal prosecutor Andrew McCarthy points out, we have the spectacle of the nation’s laws governing immigration, drugs, marriage, health care, free speech and religious liberties – among others – being mutated willfully and repeatedly by Barack Obama.

In a forthcoming book entitled Faithless Execution, McCarthy argues that such examples of the President’s breach of his oath of office justify impeachment. Indeed they do.
