    Where is the equal protection clause written

    Edit: cause you keep replying and deleting or Lemmy is being weird I’ll just answer my own rhetorical question. The 14th amendment of the constitution. It’s a ruling that the law doesn’t violate the 14th amendment of the Constitution. there are parts of the constitution other than the second amendment - hard to believe I know, but they are also in there. And rulings on those grounds are just as constitutional.

      The 14th Amendment, this case was about this the plaintiff was arguing on 14th amendment grounds not 2nd per the article.
