The thing is, I dont know what this means. Can I smoke a joint? I guess not, even it the state says I can (medicinal MJ in California). (Which I think is a good analogy to this.) As for equal protection-what if a woman is topless and a man is in public. What happens? If the law is applied to all the people does it allow differnt rules for m/f? Common sense says yes but...

I think this quote alone means nothing, as you now from the WOD, but thats another barrel of monkeys.

"No state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws."

I think this line is pretty clear, and I apologize if you don't know what it means. If something is illegal, it can't be illegal for some people and not for others. There is a definite difference between what occurs when a man goes topless and when a woman goes topless. I think we both know there is a little bit of a difference between the equipment provided on the chests of men and women. Although laws banning breast feeding in public have been struck down repeatedly.

Once again, if one unconstitutional law stands, that doesn't mean they all should. Perhaps there just hasn't been a test case able to challenge the other bad laws.
