The Equal Protection Clause use been cited by the Court to grant every right under the sun including the right for illegal aliens to be educated in our public schools.

I am sure the Court will have little problem with citing the Equal Protection Clause to protect the right to vote based and English proficiency. But it is a non issue since there will never be a law or amendment passed prohibiting citizens that do no speak English the right to vote.

Exactly! And that's a deliberate misinterpretation of the Equal Protection Clause by activist judges. In other words, your position that people who can't speak English have a right to vote is based not on logic, nor on the actual language of the written Constitution. It's based on sociological jurisprudence, where liberal judges "interpret" the Constitution to mean what they wish it meant, not what it actually means.

Now, you may be correct that we'll never again see a law passed requiring people to speak English to vote. But that's just one more sign that our Constitution has been overthrown and our American culture is being supplanted by invaders. It's like noting that Britain may never again see more people in Christian churches than in Mosques. It may be true, but it's something to lament.
