The US Consititution contains a few phrases that refer to "equal protection" which means that the law should apply equally regardless of how much money you have, what color your skin is, or what religion you practice or don't practice. It also means that a law cannot be enforced against one group [non FSC members] while not enforced against another group [FSC members]. I know it has been a long time since my Constitutional Law classes in law school, but I am pretty sure those standards have not changed.
