There is not one rule for friends and another for photos. One rule for the powerful and another for the powerless. One rule for the rich and another for the poor, one rule for democrats and another for republicans, or different roles depending on Ones Race or ethnicity. To the contrary, we have only one rule, we follow the facts and apply the law
