Re: 14th amendment

^"...laws that contravene due process and equal protection"^

The premise doesn't stand up, Robert. Although it's a standard political screeching technique, simply calling something "unconstitutional" doesn't make it so. Nothing in the law is actually unconstitutional, since it reflects long-standing Federal law, and the authors wrote it very carefully. What the hell do you think "due process of law" actually MEANS?

Opponents know this, which is what worries them. If they pull this into court, it's going to open up an interesting can of worms in a lot of other legislation.
