But that was after licensing was created specifically to regulate
interracial marriage, so no absurdity, just one more example of the
tired history of government first regulating what it will later seek to
ban. When are you people going to get it? Pull your head out.

Not when you are asking to be put in the same cages. Equal protection
is worthless in a police state. All germans had equal chance of being
sent to the death camps, only half of those killed were jews. When they
marched into the same prisons together, all, gentile and jew, read the
motto "Arbiet Macht Frei": Labor shall make you free. Everyone there
was treated with "equal protection" too....

Adding a million zeroes together still equals zero.
