Equality under the law does not speak to behaviors, george.

Ah, so you confirm that your concept of "equality before the law" permits you to distinguish between 1)the depositing of a ballot into a box by a hand lighter in color that the box's wood and 2)the depositing of a ballot into a box by a hand darker in color that the box's wood -- permitting the former and prohibiting the latter.

Gotcha.

Sorry, see above, Gunga Diner example. How about it, Emmylou? You've quite a snarky sense of humor...see if you can finess that one. Care to respond?

Since you like eating analogies, consider this:

Americans of Latino descent have higher rates of diabetes and obesity than Americans of Northern European descent.

Therefore, a law against the behavior of buying junk food could be enacted, making illegal for Hispanics to buy junk food.

Will the Supreme Court uphold such law?
