Equal protection is only a process. It doesn't address very much about morality in all its dimensions.

I can agree with that.  Whether the law is moral or not, we must be accorded equal treatment under it.  That what civil unions accomplish, without sending up the
lightning rod of religious marriage.

I think we agree the Constitution requires us to apply the protection of the law equally. Equal protection is a process, not a moral code.

Does the Constitution require us to reject laws on the basis of their codifying religious beliefs? Of course not.

Does equal protection under the law require us to be blind to the fact that heterosexual coupling produces children? Of course not.
