we are not in fact, and at all times, treated equally under the law
As an example, will an immigrant receive the same treatment in a court hearing as the CEO of a corporation, or a politician? Would any of us receive the same treatment in a court of law as the CEO? Do we expect to be treated the same in court as a former mayor of an island in the Pacific, when we don't personally know every judge and attorney on the island?
If you have a really good lawyer, you'll receive really fair treatment under the law. Better than fair. Pretty good even.
