Conservatives ignore the Rule of Law when they swear to support the Contitution

Conservatives have no real difficulty swearing to support the U.S. Constitution. They simply ignore the Rule of Law. Without the application of the Rule of Law, the Constitution is meaningless.

The Constitution is a set of principles that are supposed to guide American law. It is the basic law of the land. But no "law" matters if individuals do not apply it in their behavior. It is that process of applying law in behavior that we call "the Rule of Law." The courts are merely an administrative process for applying the set of principles that are embodied in the Constitution.

The American conservatives are happy to swear to support the US Constitution. They simply don't want to apply the Rule of Law.
