      [continued from previous message]              illness. Because it isn't like RACE/GENDER where it's in the DNA and is       protected by the equal protection clause for all persons.                     > Those race-based examples could get particular attention on a court       > with two Black justices, Clarence Thomas and Ketanji Brown Jackson,       > who are married to white spouses and another justice, Amy Coney       > Barrett, who has two adopted children who are Black.

"A tattoo       > studio could ink American flag tattoos on customers born in the United       > States while refusing to sell identical tattoos to immigrants," they       > said.       >              It was on purpose they used that but it's superfluous BS since DNA shows       race as part of all person's genetic material. Gays are NOT and TRANS       are not, so they are NOT real except in the gays/trans minds.              All races are protected by the equal protection clause to equal       government access.              Which means that any store business or person that can't meet those       standards set by government for it's own participation in equal       protection of persons will have to be denied access to government       resources that their store doesn't meet the required equal access to       ensure the Government isn't violating the equal protection clause.                            > Brianne Gorod of the Constitutional Accountability Center,       > representing a group of law professors, hypothesized other examples of       > what could happen if Smith succeeds at the high court.       >       > "A web designer could refuse to create a web page celebrating a female       > CEO's retirement - violating Colorado's prohibition on sex       > discrimination - if he believed all women have a duty to stay home and       > raise children.

Government is the one being       regulated by the "equal protection clause" NOT the private sector's       commerce.              The over lap is when the Government injects its self into private sector       commerce with tax dollars and special indemnity clauses and Contracts       for private sector services.                            > The examples, he said, are "the kind of thing a law professor would       > think of."                            --       -Reality Matters-              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
