promote the general welfare, and the application of the same which generated opportunities of socioeconomic success and peaceful, civil living, but a whole lot of problems with the order part, the parsing of the words comprising "rule of law", the unclear definitions, the unequal enforcement, mostly by the special interest groups that give goons and thugs that pervert the law the easier opportunity to snatch life, wealth, superior educations, and vitality from a general population melting their heritages together through opportunities to succeed. Things are worse than they seem when we excuse stiff penalties of criminal behavior, white or blue-collar, and turn it into just incivility that can't be adjudicated even by social reprimands that overwhelm any earned redemption and that take advantage of the peaceful and turn a population to not just social disobedience but outright manipulation of the law to yet further take advantage by means of a self-perceived superior group leadership.
That even the SCOTUS appears to have been corrupted through polarization of basic concepts of what remains as the goodness in humanity in which a peaceful individual's (that's the important one) life time can be lived overall (race, gender and orientation, age, speech, religion, etc...) and that takes no action to uphold what is indeed a "bad" personal decision versus a core inherent way of being, leads me to a despair that most of the People are headed back to anarchy, slavery, and what amounts to living in unhealthy caves. Corruption and greed, rotting from the head, has become or perhaps always was, just too tempting; it's coming for me and you with "winning by any means" the only yardstick.
