"It has come to this. Called upon to explore the jurisprudential twilight zone between two errant lines of precedent, we confront a frighteningly bizarre question: Does the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment forbid what its text plainly requires?"
Scalia just doesn’t get it. The Equal Protections Clause of the 14th Amendment is part of a “living” document, one that’s open to reinterpretation and shouldn’t be read literally.
In today’s world, equality doesn’t mean “equality.” Equality means “fairness.”. fairness sometimes (oftentimes, actually) requires inequality.
Why is that so hard for Neanderthals like Scalia and Conservatives to understand and accept???
