Rule of law implies that [bevery person is subject to the law], including people who are lawmakers, law enforcement officials, and judges. In this sense, it stands in contrast to an autocracy, dictatorship, or oligarchy where the rulers are held above the law.
Lack of the rule of law can be found in both democracies and dictatorships, for example because of neglect or ignorance of the law, and the rule of law is more apt to decay if a government has insufficient corrective mechanisms for restoring it. Government based upon the rule of law is called nomocracy.


All government officers of the United States, including the President, the Justices of the Supreme Court, state judges and legislators, and all members of Congress, pledge first and foremost to uphold the Constitution. These oaths affirm that the rule of law is superior to the rule of any human leader


Guiliani and any of the Lawyers associated with Trump, including Trump as President and Other Republican who try to put the President above the law should be placed before a firing squad, for seeking to usurp the United States of America's Constitution and the Judicial Basis which it supports and equally so, the Judicial Basis supports the Constitution. This is subversive conduct

Subversion (Latin subvertere: overthrow) refers to a process by which the values and principles of a system in place are contradicted or reversed, an attempt to transform the established social order and its structures of power, authority, hierarchy, and norm (social). Subversion can be described as an attack on the public morale and, "the will to resist intervention are the products of combined political and social or class loyalties which are usually attached to national symbols. Following penetration, and parallel with the forced disintegration of political and social institutions of the state, these loyalties may be detached and transferred to the political or ideological cause of the aggressor". Subversion is used as a tool to achieve political goals because it generally carries less risk, cost, and difficulty as opposed to open belligerency. Furthermore, it is a relatively cheap form of warfare that does not require large amounts of training. A subversive is something or someone carrying the potential for some degree of subversion. In this context, a "subversive" is sometimes called a "traitor" with respect to (and usually by) the government in power.


We are NOT a dictatorship, nor an Autocratic System and we are not a government ruled by Oligarchy.

America should treat the Republican Party, exactly how the Nazi Party was abolished from Germany Government.

NO ONE IS ABOVE THE LAW, NOT EVEN THE PRESIDENT: ATTORNEY GENERALS AND THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION
