The United States Supreme Court calls these groups 'suspect classes'. Laws that discriminate against them are generally unconstitutional. While this is a familiar account of equal protection jurisprudence, this book argues that this approach suffers from hitherto unnoticed normative and political problems. The book elucidates a competing, extant interpretation of equal protection jurisprudence that avoids these problems. The interpretation is not concerned with suspect classes but rather with the kinds of reasons that are already inadmissible as a matter of constitutional law. This alternative approach treats the equal protection clause like any other limit on governmental power, thus allowing the Court to invalidate equality-infringing laws and policies by focusing on their justification rather than the identity group they discriminate against. 517 3 $aBeyond Race, Sex, & Sexual Orientation 606 $aEquality before the law$zUnited States 606 $aDiscrimination$xLaw and legislation$zUnited States 615 0$aEquality before the law 615 0$aDiscrimination$xLaw and legislation 676 $a342.7308/5 700 $aBedi$b Sonu$01654325 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910815307103321 996 $aBeyond race, sex, and sexual orientation$94087783 997 $aUNINA
