Why does the rule of law seem to consist of a bunch of laws? Shouldn't it be a single general rule like "Don't make laws on an empty stomach"?

    It actually comes from “rule of lawmen”, which means that the state is controlled by lawyers.

      Thanks for that valuable information.

      Now I have ammo to dismiss the so-called “rule of law”.

        we have bad laws because they are on a full stomach and can’t relate to people who aren’t

          Okay, that’s a good one.

          What’s the law equivalent then of “Never do your groceries on an empty stomach”?

        It’s a loophole for politiicans to avoid responsibility because they’re not themselves when they’re hungry.
