Reply #44: Abstracting- under the principles of common law [View All]

Once the Supreme Court of a state (or the US Supreme Court) has ruled a group to be a suspect class- it follows different standards of review.

Once a group- be it Native Americans, Hispanics or any other is held to be a suspect class, altering the standard of review in any given case opens up a slippery slope in all cases.

That the issue at hand appears narrow- and appears to be context bound, doesn't mean that it is.

Changing the standard of review in any instance- legitimizes changes on the standard of review for all suspect classes.
