The article challenges the idea that only powerless groups should get special legal protection. It says the Supreme Court changed its mind about this. The Court used to give extra rights to groups seen as weak. But now, the Court also protects powerful groups, like businesses, and doesn't treat them all the same. The author argues that judges should be careful when deciding who needs extra help from the law. Even though judges have to make tough choices, they should think about fairness in the democratic system. The author believes the old idea that only weak groups need protection is still important, even if judges sometimes have to make decisions based on values.
