All actions and activities of the federal government of the United States, including all laws, all enactments, and all legislation of the federal government:
- Shall apply equally to each individual citizen of the United States; and
- Shall apply no preferential or punitive treatment for any individual citizen
of the United States based upon any distinction, including but not limited to age,
or race, or gender, or religion, or social status, or financial status,
or health status, or any other distinction;
except as a punishment for a federal crime wherein the party shall have been duly convicted.

Please contemplate the mischief done by the "equal protection" clause of the 14th Amendment. Yet this is worse: You just went on record as supporting the ERA. I suggest you consult Phyllis Schlafly as to why that's a bad idea.

The power to enforce a right is the power to violate it. Best we hose representatives who pull these stunts instead of enacting such legislative "fixes" that each become their own can of worms.

[Repeal The 17th]

I was responding to a poster who said “we need an amendment”;
why is having all laws apply equally to all people bad?
