I think it's worse than that. The "rules" (which are no longer the written law) are used as a weapon by the ruling class.
I see it the same way as the recent Obamacare subsidy decision by the Supreme Court... The word "state" doesn't mean state. It had to be changed so Liberals could break the law to win.
The Obama DoJ found no evidence against Obama Treasury (IRS) because Liberals had to break the law to win.
The only thing that shocks me is people still vote for Dems thinking they someday won't be on the menu. If there are no objective laws, then there is nothing to protect anyone.
