Not *equally*. I’m just saying, I do accept there are rights we have even if we’re an infant, and there are rights we don’t have just because we went through puberty. I will say if we send a kid off to war, you damn well better respect his dignity enough to let him buy smokes.

But I'm saying, there are in fact good faith arguments to age barriers. You don't have to agree with them, and we're doing terrible at making them, but it's not like there's not a reasonable case to be made for the 35 year old wall for the presidency.
