it could be easily rewritten to refer to people who are or were recently pregnant
That is still very gender-biased. Single fathers deserve equal protection for the parts that don't involve pregnancy - if any even do.
The Bible itself doesn't really condone slavery, it just tells slaves how to be faithful. The mere existence of slavery in the day doesn't mean support. Not going to get into the rest right now.
There are a lot of other laws and programs that are still gender separated, such as WIC. It'll be interesting to see if any more are challenged on the same basis.
Also, when the 14th Amendment was passed in 1868, homosexual behavior was a felony in every state in the union. So I am guessing you are going to sit there and tell me that they wrote this amendment they were going to allow same sex marriage - then throw them in prison after saying "I do" ?
Well, you'd have to wait a little longer than that. A chaste marriage would still have been legal in that scenario.
The 14th amendment says that the law has to treat both genders (or really all people) equally, and that as it's written it would be a violation for even a state's law to discriminate between male/female in a marriage.
So no matter which side you're on, that's how it's written. It would require a constitutional amendment to enable the laws the states thought they had.
That never worked out for the alcosexuals.
Yes. Desperation has caused these new couplings in a Jurassic Park "Life finds a way" scenario. If the women have already given a pass on them, this is the last great hope.
Isn't that exactly how women gained the right to vote? It wasn't the immediate interpretation of the amendment, but that's what the eventual ruling was based on.
Perhaps you can sign up for the "dependency" package of contract rights only when you can prove it -- thus a four-some of polyamorists only get tax benefits if they can prove dependency according to the laws we already have. If you want to sign up for the "procreation" package, then all the marital rights involving children apply. We can have the "cohabitation package" and the "estate-planning" package, etc.
Did you work for the Windows Vista product team?
I never cease to be amazed at what you waste your time on.
You can still mitigate brute-forcing by putting a waiting period between attempts. And a PIN with only 10,000 combinations absolutely needs protection. So if they left it unprotected, they should fix it.
Maybe if you're talking about just the text. A lot of books have photos. And the LoC also has the National Film Registry.
In fact, the LoC had 186 TB of digital content over 9 years ago.
So the non-ionizing radiation has started...ionizing?
Wish I had mod points for this AC.
You mean like the person I was replying to already suggested? I think that option is well known.
