Quote:Finding that "laws of the kind now before us raise the inevitable inference that the disadvantage imposed is born of animosity toward the class of persons affected," the Court inferred that the passage of Amendment 2 was born of a "bare...desire to harm a politically unpopular group".[2] The Court added: "[I]f the constitutional conception of 'equal protection of the laws' means anything, it must at the very least mean that a bare ... desire to harm a politically unpopular group cannot constitute a legitimate governmental interest."(emphasis added)[
Yes then did Min. But they didn't extend it. I hope they do. But they tend to follow public sentiment. The more states and circuits, the better.

Unless they are letting the Koch Brrothers buy elections eh, you phony fuckball.
These phony patriots don't understand the structure of their own government and legal system, yet rail against it when it is functioning properly.
That federal judges are not elected is
by design, you fucking dolts. That insulates them from the pressures elected officials are subject to and allows them to deliberate without pressure.
Skepticism is not a position; it is an approach to claims.
Science is not a subject, but a method.
