In the face of conservation objections to illegal immigration, I have become increasingly concerned about the Tyranny of Law.

Today, it is fashionable to talk about the Rule of Law, but is blind obedience to bad law a good thing?

A couple of points to bring together:

(1) Sparrowhawk Book 1 Jake Frake:  Minority English response against economic regulation becomes the foundation for the American Revolution.

(2) Hernando de Soto's Mystery of Capitalism which documents how the rule of bad law has undermined democracy in the third world.  Look at how almost every country in South America (Venezuela, Brazil, Argentina, Equador, Peru, Chile) is tuning its back on capitalism in favor of more socialist poisin.

(3) Aristotle's Politics discusses the deviant forms of government as tyrannies.  What about the law has created the deviant Tyranny of the Law?
