CMV: Rule of Law in the US is coming to an end

I make this CMV in light of the death of RBG.

My view is that the Rule of Law, as we understand it, is coming to an end. With a blatantly ideological SCOTUS, hundreds of young Federalist society judges filling the judiciary, and an attorney general whose view of the law is a weapon to be wielded against anyone the Republicans dislike, I do not expect the Rule of Law as we understand it to survive in the US.

The Republican party is attacking the Rule of Law itself with the excesses of the Trump administration. So far as I can see, the new Rule of “Law” is going to be arbitrary, capricious, and authoritarian to the benefit of right-wing ideology.

Would a Biden election change my view? No. The reforms necessary to maintain the Rule of Law will be successfully blocked by conservatives until they come into power, either by maintaining control of the Senate or motivated decisions made by the conservative SCOTUS.

Some miscellania:

I will be using the following definition for “Rule of Law”

>An independent, impartial judiciary; the presumption of innocence; the right to a fair and public trial without undue delay; a rational and proportionate approach to punishment; a strong and independent legal profession; strict protection of confidential communications between lawyer and client; equality of all before the law; these are all fundamental principles of the Rule of Law. Accordingly, arbitrary arrests; secret trials; indefinite detention without trial; cruel or degrading treatment or punishment; intimidation or corruption in the electoral process, are all unacceptable.

Any comment along the lines of “The Dems are doing this too” or “What about the Democrats” or “Aren’t you biased against Republicans?” are not convincing to me. Try harder.

Fundamentally both parties will choose judges that Align with their political belief system. Ideally though, the judges should be chosen to be “neutral” in their decision making. This is operational. ALL people will have personal ideas, leanings, etc but a person that things logically should be able to set aside biases and think rationally. 

The problem that most people don’t get is that many issues are ideologically charged and this ideology needs to be addressed bc it is fundamental to the decision making process. Meaning that some issues cannot be separated from their ideological base. 

This is not a loss of “Rule of Law” but a difference in foundational belief systems.
