What is the point in a multi-year investigation of torture practices of the Bush administration?

7. That Is fine but pushing for such an effort (and a no more likely one than prosecution for the same

lawless and contemptuous reasons) does not negate our own responsibility to our own rule of law or to the principles of equality of the law as a fundamental basis for our very concept of justice.

I honestly don't get this argument even occurring at all with anybody other than some fringe lunatics favoring divine right of kings style authoritarianism and wild eyed anarchist. It is an open endorsement of might makes right and application driven by pure whim.

It is an endorsement of the idea that we are subject rather than citizens with mighty lords above us beyond the laws for us and beyond us generally and fully ceding justice to some outside power also reinforces the same wrongheaded notions.

If this shit slides then it is time to end the charade. Defund law enforcement, defund just us departments, and nullify with extreme prejudice until actual rule of law is not just propaganda to indoctrinate impressionable minds to cloud their thinking and pervert their perception to overlook a bunch of lies that can serve no other purpose than to harness them to the will of another, making them of foolish slave that thinks they are free, a subject at fucking best.
