My argument exactly. I’d rather have codified rules that can condemn the corrupt sooner or later. The other option is to give the corrupt the power to make their actions legal at the highest level.
Since the people can’t decide directly that the actions are illegal and need to be stopped and retribution granted (due to the democratic republic form of government) the highest form of law takes over.
At this point I’m not sure what we’re arguing about. Whether it’s better to give the lawmakers the ability to make themselves above the law, or to involve literally every citizen in the process of stopping the corruption. Or probably we’re not arguing about that at all.
