Privilege

Rand Paul is proposing a constitutional amendment declaring that “Congress shall make no law applicable to a citizen of the United States that is not equally applicable to Congress.”

Swell idea. It should read "...that is not equally applicible to any employee of the Federal government."

I had thought that this would be covered by the clause forbidding the congress from issuing titles of nobility which generally carry certain perks such as being exempt from the pesky regulations imposed on the peasants. The problem I guess is that that would require the Supreme Court, themselves members of the nobility, to issue a ruling to this effect.
