I think the double standard exploits a shortcut in our psychology that tells us that whoever is breaking laws and getting away with it must be at the top of the hierarchy. Casual law breaking serves as proof that the person has real power over the police, judges, and other officials who have power over you. If you know the only reward you'll get for fighting for justice is a boot in your face, then you'll just have to shut up about it like everybody else.
IMO, we have not had a Justice system in America since they changed to to the NEW ""Criminal Justice System"", where the so called Justice is in fact Criminal in its nature...
