Two distant observers with each a (transversal) LIGHT CLOCK orbit at a
constant distance around their common center (assumed at rest).

Special relativity postulates that the light beams in both light clocks
propagate at c relative to both (almost inertially moving) observers.

This requires that for each observer the clock rate of the opposite clock
CAN be lower than the clock rate of his own clock.

Because of symmetry and unchanging distance, clock rate CANNOT differ.

The impossibility of mutual time dilation in this situation entails the
impossibility of a constant speed of light as a general law.
