For the sake of consistency, wouldn’t it be desirable for the glorious leader to be subject to the same legal punishments as the masses?

- throwaway0a5e 5y agoThat's his point.
- kergonath 5y agoArguing about consistency in a system without the rule of law seems a bit foolish as well. Diplomats are a more interesting edge case. And AFAIK they can always be prosecuted and convicted in their home country.
- bluGill 5y agoThat can be abused as well. Just frame the leader for a crime and he sits in prison until it is proved that he is innocent, then do so again for a different crime. For the above assume the leader is actually glorious, though of course most leaders who are called glorious are awful (IMHO)
