To most people, legislation IS law. It was not always so. All are equally restricted. Obviously the man is ticketed, arrested, or loses his driver's license. To prosecute the dangerous driver makes sense, but to inconvenience all others does not, except as an emotional tool.
Legislation restricts both the good and the bad equally.
This by itself is unjust. All of this is not to say that the concept of 'rule of law' didn't make sense in its initial applications. But when a huge system of equal restrictions upon both the bad and the good is justified in the name of 'rule of law', the term is of diminished worth, and can become a tool of injustice. Now, almost every legislator is a lawyer who flies to the State House, has dozens of assistants, and makes points with his constituents by showing by how many laws he passed. Not only is the number of new laws huge, but it is growing rapidly.
