    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.
