    It violates the Rule of Law. Laws must apply equally. If Congress doesn't like a law, then that law should be changed, not waived. https://twitter.com/pat_defdaily/status/820017755168657409 …

        Love a strong legal theory. 2 Qs: 1) do all laws stating standards betray the rule of law? 2) does prosecutorial discretion?

        No and no, not as a general matter. But standards and prosecutorial discretion have potential to violate the Rule of Law.

        Agree so far. Isn't prosecutor's choice not to prosecute a lawbreaker = waiver of law by executive branch?

        Similar if prosecutor acts based on who the person is (e.g., his friend) rather than on neutral rules considered in advance.

        3/3) …then the rule of law is not violated. Is that right, in your view?

        Concerns about legal interpretation/separation of powers make it possible to conclude it violates law but not Rule of Law.

        - why "general"? That seems in conflict with "certain." And it's clearly the opposite of "specific."

        being " All or nothing" Often leads to getting nothing. Common sense exceptions won't cause you to melt.

        unfortunately the language required to describe our circumstances wouldn't make it through Congress.

        Pretty sure rule of law is why she won't be prosecuted.
