“Under
a tyranny the law is misused as an instrument of injustice, persecution,
repression, and oppression.”
“Correctly
construed, the rule of law protects and upholds human rights and our God-given
freedoms.”
“Genuine
democracy, which subsists in the democratic values and principles internalized
by the people, is subverted when criminal leaders controvert the laws embodying
the people’s deepest aspirations for freedom from tyranny.”
