Maintaining a double standard of judgement really means, you get to be held to a standard of behavior, we don't. Double standards are what aristocracies, oligarchies, dictatorships, slave societies, patriarchal societies, etc. practice. Double standards are the opposite of a liberal position. Equal responsibilities, equal treatment are among the defining practices of liberalism, to the extent those are not practiced, to that extent the people violating that are pseudo-liberals.
The Supreme Court building has a lie carved over the entrance:
Imagine what society, economics and politics would have been like if they'd enforced it. Equality, that is. It would be a liberal society. I have to say, I think the Roman fasces over the "D" is a dead giveaway.
