"All people are the same! Smooch!"

Our Constitution and our legal system is based on the principal that people are to be treated as individuals and punished for their own actions, not the actions of other members of some group they happen to be a member of.

Are you willing to throw this principal away and start treating people primarily based on their membership in a particular group?

Our Constitution also deals with people treated as groups that are a danger to our country.

You need to have the balance of individual and group.
