[see my suggestion for the whole thing]

Explanation:
The equal should be treated the same, and the unequal (should be treated) differently.
Or you could say the equal should be treated equally and the unequal unequally.
I don't agree with the premise, though - one of the most fundamental principles of law is that everyone should be treated equally.
