Inside the ‘Broadview Six’ scandal rocking Chicago’s federal courthouse – Chicago Sun-Times
Federal prosecutors in Chicago are better known for taking on violent street gangs, potential terrorists and corrupt politicians of all stripes. In 20 years, they put two governors in prison, as well as a former U.S. House speaker who served two heartbeats away from the presidency. But the “Broadview Six” scandal is now threatening to do long-term damage to what’s perhaps the most highly regarded law enforcement agency in the city. A federal judge summed it up this way: “Trust has been broken.”

BARBER: The biggest lie in global politics is the ‘Rules-Based International Order’
The legal system in developed countries has, in short, two key aspects that make it function: a structure for adjudicating legal disputes and a robust enforcement mechanism. If a person is suspected of violating a law, there is a detailed process for summoning that person to court. If they refuse to comply with a court order, police are dispatched to enforce it. On the other hand, if courts decline to prosecute violations or police choose not to execute court orders, the law effectively ceases to exist. Politicians and civic organizations may condemn violations, demand action, and hold meetings, but such rhetoric becomes meaningless when the institutions are unwilling to act. We have seen this dynamic play out in some US cities in recent years. Rules are followed only when they are enforced — and enforcement may require the credible threat or use of force.
