    The trouble with just ignoring law is that when the guys you don’t agree with are in charge, they now have justification to ignore the laws too.

        Fair point, though I’d argue it makes it easier for them.

        No, but we need someone too. The war in Ukraine isn’t worth the loss of the rule of law.

          I would argue that the rule of law has been under attack for very long time, and the past years very publicly.
