Rule of Law
Politicized courts and institutions are unraveling equal protection and weakening public faith in justice.
The rule of law is being unraveled, as judges and lawyers are threatened and long-held democratic norms are breached, often with the tacit approval of the Supreme Court. The enduring goal of equal legal protection has been eroded by courts and legislatures, and there has been an acute increase in attacks on the rights of migrants, including legal residents and U.S. citizens, under the rubric of security. The American justice system, law enforcement bodies, and military are being increasingly politicized and weaponized, further undermining public faith in the rule of law.
