Ha. Ha HA!

So, I was reading Deadspin.com yesterday and saw an article about a women's poker tournament in Vegas which was forced to allow a man to play for "Constitutional reasons." One idiot commented as follows:

"Definitely a +1 for execution, although there's no way the "legal requirements" they're talking about are constitutional. Probably a state anti-discrimination statute. The Equal Protection Clause of the Constitution does not protect the right of a man to participate in a private female poker tournament run by a private entity."

I love it! In trying to insult women, this moron made men look like absolute apes! Check out Heart of Atlanta Motel v. United States, holding that the Commerce Clause, not the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment, as the ape suggests, provides for CONSTITUTIONAL protection of discrimination in places of public accommodation, like hotels.
