Re: SCOTUS 13: Confirmation consternation contemplation
Sorry Brent but that isnt what they said. You are looking at it backwards. You think by saying "treat everyone the same" that means you are being "fair" and in a logic sense you are. If Person A is treated like dirt and Person B is treated like dirt technically that is equality. The problem is that if Person A has the means to deal with that and Person B doesnt it is inherently not fair. If you have the opportunity to help out Person B so their situation doesnt destroy them you should do that. By doing so you arent saying they arent capable, you are just evening the playing field because Person A already doesnt need that help. Helping out Person B isnt tipping the scales in any way, it is just giving Person B the same fighting chance Person A has.
Think about the handicapped. Many of them dont require us to help them yet we make concessions for them all the time. Are the healthy being discriminated against because the Handicapped are given extra help? Of course not. Its the same thing here.
