They knew it would take a few years to get this before the high court and by that time they would have the infrastructure in place making it hard for the Jurists to go in the opposite direction. I think there is a nother aspect of this legislation that violates the equal protection clause, and it doesnt seem to be getting much chatter. The exemptions for the Amish and the Christian Scientists, how can you make a protected class that is exempt from this legislation? Am I incorrect in my thought that this law shall be applied EQUALLY?
Then we have the tanning tax. This tax disproportiantely affects white women, can you imagine if they created a tax that disproportionately affected black women, or hispanic women?
