the rule of law

everyone

is a lawyer now.

they know

the constitution, the amendments,

they can

state previous cases

that determined

what the law is.

they talk about due

process

and warrants, court

orders

and sanctuary,

they talk about asylum,

and legalities,

appeals,

human rights.

the rule of law,

and yet

they're running around

with their

shirts off

setting things on fire

in the middle

of the night.
