"No state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws."

Are you crazy?

You're right, it's the 15th that mentions race isn't it? But the whole purpose of the 14th and the reason it was passed was to protect former slaves. Now that I see that it's not specific to race, it seems more likely to me it will get overturned. However, in doing so, the Court will have to overturn 210 years of Constitutional jurisprudence. It still seems like a stretch.
