Pretty soon, you’re going to start to hear people tell you that it’s time to move on. They’ll say that accountability is too divisive, too hard, too costly. But here at The Rule of Law Project, we know that the rule of law is not self-executing. It is a culture sustained by the shared expectation that the law binds and protects everyone. Rebuilding that culture will take successful prosecutions. But it will take more than that. It will take a public that demands accountability, and elected officials who are committed to “a government of laws, not of men.” That’s why The Rule of Law Project is committed to winning the argument that criminal conduct by public officials must carry criminal consequences — and that no one, regardless of badge, office, or influence, is above the law.
