The War on Drugs has been far more than a "bad law". It's arguably fucked up at least two generations of minority Americans, mostly black men.

And some years ago, at perhaps the peak of that war, we had a US administration that dealt in illegal drugs in order to buy weapons illegally from declared terrorists, and then illegally provided said weapons to counterinsurgency forces, explicitly violating the express will of Congress. And then the Vice President, a former CIA Director, who was nominally in charge of the operation, was subsequently elected President. And some years later, his youngest son, with no obvious qualifications for office, was elected President for two terms, and broght to his administration many of the advisers and operatives who had carried out the drugs-for-weapons program.

I mean, it's hard to make up stuff this this!

What do you point to, from the 70s through the present, that exemplifies the "rule of law" in actual practice?
