No one will be asked to surrender what is guaranteed them by the Bill of Rights. Agreement on fundamental principles enables us to accommodate our differences over policy. Factions in politics do not necessarily lead to fractures within the constitutional order. But it is quite otherwise when our disagreements extend to a question of rights. Then the potential is more deadly.
Rights are indivisible.
If only some human beings possess them then they are not truly human rights. They are merely the advantages that the politically more powerful enjoy over the most vulnerable. Such domination of some over others is precisely what the rule of law is expected to prevent. But when domination occurs under cover of law and is even accorded the status of a right, the entire constitutional system is infected with corruption. Law cannot play favorites and still remain what law is meant to be.
