Just disgraceful. There is a long way to go in fixing our regulatory agencies.

I Just typed "what is the role of a legal system in a free society" into a search engine.

It came up with a website that includes:

QUOTE

The Importance of the Rule of Law for Society

The rule of law is essential in maintaining a free, democratic and fair society.

At its core, the Rule of Law serves as both a warning and an aspiration.

As a warning, it ensures that those in power are held accountable and their use of power is limited. It guards against arbitrary rule and the excessive concentration of power in one person or group through the separation of powers and checks and balances.

As an aspiration, the Rule of Law represents an ideal that society must continually strive towards to protect the rights and freedoms of all individuals. It is not just about the government and citizens knowing and obeying the law; it requires individuals, institutions, and processes to work together to value and protect human rights.

Without the Rule of Law, two outcomes are possible: tyranny, where a ruler disregards human rights and operates outside the law, or anarchy, where chaos and the absence of law prevail. The Rule of Law exists to prevent both of these scenarios, ensuring a just and orderly society.

How's that working out for us?

Seems to have all gone rather pear-shaped on the "just and orderly society" front...

How do we get a legal system that actually works in the best interests of the people?
