Even the Governor of Pennsylvania violates the speed limit.
Unless they pbutt a law allowing them to do so (USA PATRIOT and follow-ons). Or just do so and "lose the paperwork".
As Andrew Jackson once said "Justice Marshall has made his decision. Now let him enforce it". So much for presidents respect for rule of law.
No, you're just using "rule of law" as a stick to attempt to beat those who disagree with current laws. When Governor Rendell violates the speed limit and gets away with it because he's governor, THAT weakens "rule of law". Same when a cop does the same. When laws are pbutted which exempt government officials from laws, that makes a mockery of "rule of law". But when a private citizen violates the law, for any reason or no reason, with no expectation of immunity if he's caught, that fails to affect "rule of law" one way or another.
Only those in power can violate "rule of law", either by issuing a decree that all must follow (the full phrase is "rule of law, not of men") on pain of punishment, or by failing to follow the laws themselves. -- There's no such thing as a free lunch, but certain accounting practices can result in a fully-depreciated one.
