I don't see you winning this one under the 14th Amendment and particularly under the 9th. You might have a shot under the 14th if you had a liberal judge or judges. The level of scrutiny the court would provide would be the lowest level of scrutiny as you don't have a protected class. As long as the law was rationally related to a legitimate state interest, you would fail even though it is a silly law.

The Constitution only gives certain limited rights to its citizens to make them self governing or at least that was the intent of the Founders.

Good grief. You need some help about how we are endowed with self evident inalienable rights.

It is up to the people to take it from there. The Constitution was not designed to offer protection and redress from the Courts against every silly law.

Well, at least you admit this is a "silly" law.

Thanks for your legal advice, but pardon me for not taking it seriously, considering your bold comment on "limited" rights
