Eighty percent of Republicans, according to a recent poll, said they believed in the rule of law. I heard that on MSNBC, and the commentator seemed quite happy with that number.
The problem is what do the other 20% believe? Rule of force? Rule by fiat? I am also aware of something called “response set bias” where respondents reply to a poll question the way they think they should reply rather than saying what they believe.
I think that 20% is much higher. After all, eight Republican U.S. Senators and over 150 Republican House members voted against certifying Biden’s election. Those are men and women who swore an oath to uphold the Constitution.
