Right. I don't believe equality of rights under the law was abridged or denied because of sex.

"Right. I don't believe equality of rights under the law was abridged or denied because of sex."

Of course. But one of the interesting things that the MSM rarely points out is how the libs are now using the state courts, via the wording of the state constitutions, to implement their agenda. Besides this case, the example that comes to my mind is how, in Florida, the state constitution that guarantees all children an education, implies that vouchers are illegal. Go figure.

What we, as conservatives, really need to do is go back and look at those constitutions, and pretty much clean them out except for essential stuff, like how the government is organized. Having education written into state constitutions is simply stupid - and gives judges all kinds of power to step on legislators. It's not needed, states will educate kids anyway - and if one doesn't believe it, go to any large military base where families live. Those bases have schools (usually much better than the surrounding public schools, but that's for another thread), yet there is nothing in the US Constitution requiring that kids at federal facilities be given an education - but it gets done.

Only if you define homosexuality as a third sex.
