I fail to see how anyone can not recognize the USA is a full blown kleptocracy.
In Pakistan the Lahore High Court was able to rule that the government was in violation of climate protection. So I guess rule of law is better in Pakistan then it is in the US.
The countries have different laws and legal systems and balance of power between different parts of the government. Not about "rule of law is better" but about those differences.
