Rullus entered upon his office with the other tribunes on the 10th of December, b.
But as his eloquence did not deter Rullus from persevering in his design, Cicero ad­dressed the people a few days afterwards in the second of the speeches which are extant.
Rullus did not venture upon a public reply, but he spread the report that Cicero only opposed the law in order to gratify those who had received grants of land from Sulla.

 II. In Opposition to a New Agrarian Law by Cicero. Rome (218 B.C.-84 A.D.). Vol. II. Bryan, William Jennings, ed. 1906. ...
Those men who first projected these measures saw, that, if you had the power of making your selection out of the whole people, whatever the matter might be in which good faith, integrity, virtue, and authority, were required, you would beyond all question entrust it to Cnæus Pompeius 3 as the chief manager.
From that abundance, and from this affluence in all things, in the first place, originated those qualities—arrogance, which demanded of our ancestors that one of the consuls should be chosen from Capua; and in the second place, that luxury which conquered Hannibal himself by pleasure, who up to that time had proved invincible in arms.
They will laugh at and despise Rome, situated among mountains and valleys, stuck up, as it were, and raised aloft, amid garrets, with not very good roads, and with very narrow streets, in comparison with their own Capua, stretched out along a most open plain, and in comparison of their own beautiful thoroughfares.

Cicero gave three speeches against the bill, one to the Senate and two to the people, considered by scholars to be "masterpieces of misrepresentation." Cicero's speech to the Senate deployed his rhetoric of unnamed powers sinisterly controlling Rullus for their private ends.
Cicero's speeches to the people characterized Rullus' bill as anti-Pompeian, but it is not at clear that Pompey understood it to be so, or even that he did not support (or would not have supported) the bill.
Caecilius Rufus, the tribune who threatened to veto Rullus' reform bill, then proposed a bill which would have restored the civil rights of Autronius and P. Sulla, whose loss of the de ambitu trial in 66 cost them not merely the consulships but all civil rights at Rome.

Its design was to buy up land for redistribution to veterans, most of the land he proposed to redistribute was in Campania where Rabirius held large estates.
Rabirius was certain to oppose the agrarian law, as voiced by Cicero in his four speeches On agrarian law: against Rullus.

In 64 P. Servillius Rullus, tribunus plebis, proposed a new agrarian reform.
He withdrew his proposal, however, when newly elected consul M Tullius Cicero attacked it, amid rumors of a conspiracy to murder the tribune under the guise of another senatusconsultum ultimum.
Between the rumors of an SCU over the Servilius Rullus proposal, and the SCU passed to justify executing Catilina's supporters, the populares sought to question the whole legitimacy of the Senate's use of such measures.

On this page: Ruga – Rullianus – Rullus
The aristocratical party, by resisting and defeating the proposition of Rul­lus, would be looked upon by the people with greater dislike than ever; and their disappointment in not obtaining the grants they had anticipated would render still more welcome an agrarian law proposed by Caesar himself.
Besides this consi­deration, Caesar was probably anxious to unmask Cicero, who had risen to the consulship by the
