Situation doesn't comprise double standard, governor says....

Branstad rejected assertions that the incident in which the vehicle driver was not ticketed points up a double standard that puts his trooper security detail above the law or that the speeding vehicle put other motorists at risk.

Branstad says he won’t ‘micromanage’ Iowa troopers after speeding incident

Some people are better than others. (Yes, the governor of Iowa is a conservative, the basis of which is that some are better than others.)

Actually, this kind of thinking and behavior is endemic among those who believe that some are better than others. Those who have "made it" to the top of the "meritocracy" consider themselves to be better at managing themselves and situations than others, and laws and regulations are meant only for those that need them, as shown by their lack of success in a meritocracy.
