4 requirements for a suspect or quasi-suspect classification: Fundamental: Q1. History of Pervasive Discrimination due to that traits. Q2. Those traits do not affect an individual's ability to contribute and perform. Supporting: Q3. Those traits are immutable to them. (The immutability test determines whether they should belong to quasi-suspect or suspect) Q4. Not enough political power to abruptly end the discrimination. On the basis of race. Q1: Blacks have been experiencing discrimination ever since like slavery, profiling, selective targeting, and racial slurs. Q2: Your race does not affect your ability to perform and contribute. Q3: We can't easily change our racial origin (or even impossible) Q4: We can say blacks have somehow gained recognition but discrimination still remains. ANSWER: Suspect Class Try to answer this on the other traits/status.

so a state law that gives women custody of their children but requires men to petition government for a license before they are recognized rights to custody is unconstitutional according to the equal protection clause?

[@carlwengeler4869]

Was wondering about state action ruling over occurring societal "private individuals/parties" equal protections of life, liberty and pursuits of happiness? If constitutional rights are basically being enslaved by "non-government actors" is the government responsible for not interviewing?

This very on equal protection was very informative,however cdcr prison have word penal logical interest that gives them corrupting power that discourage many inmates. A case that brought attention was case visitation and family reunification,this under the substantive due process law of 14th amendment and 1st amendment of free speech. The individual was refused entry

[@wilsonblock1000]

Does equal protection apply to criminal cases?

[@GloryShalom]

👀

[@MrJasonworkman]

Why does the amendment say equal protection of the law rather than can’t make a law that treats people differently? Certainly you could make a law that treats people differently, and then subject everyone equally to its protection.

Can a retailer ban my entry to their store if I refused to wear a mask based on my medical condition? Would it be a violation of my 14th Amendment rights if the retailer’s employee continued to question my stated medical condition?

[@Ballajd1]

@@ro9376 Yes, my medical condition is categorized under the ADA?

[@Ballajd1]

@@ro9376 Yes & Yes

[@Personalbarprep]

The answer is yes under the Constitution, because the Constitution only regulates government conduct and the retail store isn't a government entity.

[@utubeviewing1]

@@Personalbarprep 2 points here: 1. It is a violation of privacy to ask a persons disability. (I believe it is written into the law). Hence the phrase: no mask, can't ask. 2. If the store's mask policy is based on a city/county/state ordinance, then wouldn't the mask ordinance being imposed by the store bring it under the constitution: violation of equal protection for a protected class to not be discriminated against?

[@askiakhamanzinghatiye4837]

How do equal protection relates to treaty? And if it does.

[@Personalbarprep]

Treaties rise to the level of federal law and all federal law is subject to Equal Protection analysis as the Equal Protection clause has been reversely incorporated into the U.S. Constitution through the 5th amendment, and thus any classification created by the treaty must pass strict scrutiny with respect to the impact the treaty has on rights of individuals in the United States.

[@TheIrishdriven]

Is it a denial of equal protection for sheriff dept to accept a criminal complaint against persons for committing criminal conspiracy to make false criminal accusations against another to cause the victim to be incarcerated and held while conspirators liquidate community property in excess of 400k and refuse to get nvestigate further or prosecute conspirators in any way. Thus denying victim access and protection from crimes by law enforcement that was provided to conspirators who made unsupported criminal accusations against the victim who was immediately before incarcerated and held without bail in excess of 90 days ? Conspirators were female victim was male age 58 ade homeless with serious health issues unable to seek relief in civil court

[@danielpalos]

Anyone interested in arguing the equal protection clause for our at-will employment laws for unemployment compensation in our at-will employment State? Equal protection of our own laws could solve simple poverty. We should have no homeless problem (especially due to unequal protection of our own laws) in an at-will employment State.

[@doctorfeelgood943]

Question from layman who's never studied law: How are urinalysis tests legal under this context?

[@Archangel4Truth]

Great video. So I have a question as it pertains to the 10th Amendment. The 10th says that the Powers are Reserved to the States Or The People. The word Or is disjunctive and seem to suggest that the People appart from the States also have 10th Amendment Powers. If they do have 10th Amendment Powers can the People expect an equal application of 10th Amendment Powers by the courts when they chose to excersize them???

[@jordanpence7864]

I know sex offenders is not a very good subject with judges and Attorneys, but don't you think that Sex offender registration is a Violation of the equal protection clause, in that your address is published on the internet and registration? Germany has condemned registration as a human rights violation.

[@annaberastain4428]

They are doing that now giving preferential treatment to certain classes

[@laraparks7018]

You didn't mention DISABLED people Can you address that or do disabled people have no rights?

[@thomaszynda]

If the whole issue of the 14th amendment is to stop classifying and treat everyone as equal you must not have a separation to come to a conclusion must treat everyone as everyone else and not one protected class over another protected class

In short it's again republicans may get through with it, but only IF they openly state that woman do not have the right to equal protection or standing before the law. What makes a morbid part of me interrested in the outcome, because at least they have to be honest then. It's still sad to me bc that means they loose all legitimasy at-least from my standpoint to say it's non-insitutional or not part to how they think.

[@catsaresocute650]

What it isn't otherwise they wouldn't use a goverments failior as proof of the nature of the people it failed

And similar, but that's just so glaringly obvious, I mean they're Not psychologists who may genuinly belive that goverment can do anything better then anyone else

What are your thoughts about using unequal protection for cannabis users in states providing protection for doctors, patients, businesses, but none for any unauthorized users where their prosecution continues with mandatory minimum sentences. Federal law currently and clearly defines cannabis as having no known medical use. The doctors recommendation makes the legal exception and thus determines whether a person cultivating or distributing cannabis, or simply in possession of cannabis as criminal activity or acceptable activity within a states borders even though all cannabis activity at the federal level is illegal, especially distribution and cultivation. While prescriptions can be written for synthesized pharmaceutical Cannabinoids it is illegal for natural whole plant medicine. Most Cannabis laws of the past two decades are about protection from the government. The District of Columbia is the has clearest lack of clarity as the individual must be aware whether where they are standing is Federal or District property. It's nothing short of a trap.
