I see it this way: If legislators need special treatment under the same laws based upon circumstances limited only to them, then I have no issue with it. However, we all face the same circumstances (the world is broken and dangerous for all of us). So: By limiting them by the very laws passed by them in the first place is not only fair it's a check on them by us.
