Law is what is enforced. Everything else is just scribbles on paper.

We live in a(n at least) two-tiered justice system. The well connected and those pursuing what the establishment (both left and "right") wants get away with literal murder. Those who oppose will get jailed for the slightest perceived infringement (ie, taking a police authorized tour of the capitol).

Anyone pointing out that the reverse wouldn't stand are as useful as those in 2015 that kept saying, imagine if the roles were reversed.
