Over the last few days, the Occupy Wall Street movement has crystallized the fact that the rule of law in the US has been utterly usurped by the rule of authority. Historically speaking, Americans have always had a huge amount of respect for the law, and with good reason — we thought we were protected by checks and balances, due process, and all the other legal mechanisms that made us the land of the free. Unfortunately, individuals who enjoy power have used the guise of law to give themselves unchecked and unaccountable authority. Now that people are starting to protest against this unchecked authority, we can see exactly how many of our freedoms have been eroded.
