Like a strictly enforced rule (4,3,4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

hard and fast

(Other definitions for hard and fast that I've seen before include "inflexible" , "Not moving" , "Not able to be changed" , "Fixed and definitive" , "(Of rules) unalterable" .)

I've seen this clue in the USA Today.
