The two members of the Council who had the courage and moral integrity to oppose Lynn’s decision have been literally driven away. The Priesthood Council, as the governing body, is also guilty of violating Rule of Law, by supporting Lynn’s position. That act-to stop the process by which evidence could be gathered and presented, and ultimately, the truth could be made known, is a direct violation of Rule of Law.Īs such, it is a crime against truth, and justice, and therefore, a crime against humanity. So, when Rule of Law is violated, Justice demands that the presumption of innocence is removed, and replaces it with the presumption of guilt.Īfter many months of mishandling the accusations against him, Lynn Thompson finally declared that it was the will of the Lord that there would be no investigation, and no court held to address the accusations. The lay person doesn’t have the power to get away with it. When Rule of Law is violated, it is always by someone “at the top”-government officials in positions of authority with power. In a righteous society that honors Rule of Law, an accused person has the “presumption of innocence”, until or unless proven guilty, the burden of proof resting upon the prosecution. And by extension, judges and jurors cannot be purposely chosen to rule in favor of the accused (a “stacked deck”).
In addition, there are scriptures that state that “God is no respecter of persons”.Ī primary feature of Rule of Law is that a person cannot be a judge in their own case. We also know that God endorses the concept: D&C 107:84, “Thus, none shall be exempted from the justice and the laws of God, that all things may be done in order and in solemnity before Him, according to truth and righteousness.” We know that the Constitution of the Kingdom of God will be very much like the Constitution of the United States, and it will surely embody the ideal of Rule of Law.
Our founding fathers knew that any form of government that did not incorporate Rule of Law, with no exceptions, would only be set up to fail. Rule of Law is the bedrock principle upon which the foundation of the Constitution of the United States rests. To break it down to its very simplest term, Rule of Law means no one is above the law.
It implies that every citizen is subject to the law, including the law makers themselves. Here's the best of the reaction from Chelsea, Spurs and Man United fans respectively.The term Rule of Law, according to the Wikipedia definition, is a legal principle that says, “law should govern society, as opposed to society being governed by the arbitrary decisions of individual government officials”. The answer is a mixture of both with some even wanting their respective club's to consider a now viable January swoop for the player who could now be forced out of the door after this ruthless decision. With the striker now missing out on the London derby against Hammers, questions will be raised as to whether this decision signals the end for the ex-Borussia Dortmund man at Arsenal or whether he can still rectify his mistakes in the forthcoming weeks.Īrsenal fans have already reacted in a positive way to this big news but how have rival supporters seen this update- are they laughing at the north Londoners or mocking the player in particular? "Obviously, it is a really unpleasant situation and it is not the moment to make any rash decision."
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is no longer the captain of Arsenal (Image: Getty Images)ĭuring the said press conference, Arteta also added: "We have the leadership group and we think that we have different players that are nominated to be captain - in the last game it was Lacazette and we have Granit (Xhaka) as well who has been captain so we will follow that.
