nobody, no matter how much power they have, should be above the law.

 I agree with you. The Law is the law and it should be obeyed by all!

I agree, no one should be above the law, but it seems the more money prestige a person has the more they get by with breaking the law. And i think hillary broke it quite a bit and yet here she is running for prsident, So if she gets elected we know how it is going to be.

I totally agree with you. Although as one of your other readers have said, it does seem that the more money you have, the more likely you are to escape penalty for your crime. I sometimes find celebrities get away with things moreso than ordinary people.

I agree but, unfortunately, money buys special privileges for the rich.  Several years ago in my community there were two boys that both caused an accident while DUI killing a person each of the other cars within a matter of a few days.  One boy came from a wealthy family,  he spent no time in jail.  The other boy came from a poor family, he spent several years in prison.  Around this area, depending on who you know and how much money you have, you can get by with quite a bit than normal people would pay dearly for.
Have a wonderful day!

That was the whole point of the "all men are created equal" clause, but apparently too many people in this country have forgotten that.

No one is the above the law. People should obey all laws.
