Living by the rule of law must be obvious to all men of good will. The alternative is to live by the whims of mortals. The Constitution of the United States provides the law. The concept of individual rights is precise. Only rights which are identical for each individual citizen in the land can ensure equal treatment by the law.
Group rights cancel out individual rights by mandating unequal treatment.
Thus rights attributed to membership in an ethnic, racial, or sex-based group actually suspend the rule of law. The principle that calls for security of property is clear. The land you own, the shoes you wear, the money you earn is either yours, or it isn t. Officials of a community are elected to make certain rules from time to time. And government has every right to tax so long as the revenue is used for the benefit of all.
