If people want no limits on government there will be no limits. If people want tyranny and oppression that is what we will have. Requiring the government to "respect the rule of law" is begging the question- first you have to decide what the law is- and that is no easy task. You can say it is- but all history cuts against you. There have always been lawyers, interpreting laws. I studied ancient Greek law- the law is never clear. The law is words- and contrary to what Ebill seems to be arguing words are open to interpretation, because we all think differently. If we all thought in the same manner, if all things were manifestly clear, we would all be the same religion, we would all be the same political party, and we would all know how to drive. There would be no diversity of opinion.
