No one is discussing the NM governor any more.

But if they were, what you call a "distinction without a difference" could have some application,

both to the governor's legal argument and posters' responses to that argument,

since the point of the both federal and state constitutions is to have rule of law, not of men.

Maybe you need to hear it from somewhere besides "the left" though.

There is a common misconception regarding the term “the rule of law.” Lots of people, including U.S. officials, believe that it means that people should obey the law. But that’s not what it means. What it means is a society in which people have to answer only to the law and not to the edicts or orders issued by government officials. A society in which people have to respond to edicts and orders issued by politicians and bureaucrats is what is called “the rule of men.”
