1. Sadly, "strict scrutiny" and "suspect class" language may be why they were abandoned ...

by civil rights and feminist organizations. California leapfrogged them ahead of women who enjoy only "semi-strict scrutiny."

There are lots of civil rights and feminist equal right lawyers who thought California reached the right result with the wrong reasoning, and should have gone the Connecticut route of "semi-strict scrutiny" and were less than enthusiastic in defending California's position.
