We also used to hate uneven and capricious enforcement of the law. In fact, a number of laws were thrown out as punishment for the executive branch--if you couldn't enforce the law in an equitable way when you were able to, the application was deemed un-Constitutional and a denial of due process.

Now, just as we hated state rights "on principle" we like uneven enforcement "on principle."

It's painful sometimes to see those traits that we all have in common as humans.
