This is a concern because:
(a) the legal cornerstone of a rule-of-law society is that (1) laws are the only rule enforceable by the government, and (2) those who make the laws are also subject to those laws
(b) because of COVID restrictions, those in power have effectively a lot more power than normal to dictate what people can and can't do
(c) lately, a lot of reports have come out about rule/law-makers not being subject to those laws. Another example is how congress men and women, as well as their staff, are not subject to the recent US vaccine mandate.
Together, these developments signal that the US's rule-of-law status is not what it ought to be.
