This is not relevant to the fifth amendment though. The law you cited is a separate entity which invokes the positive rights secured in the fifth amendment. This means the fifth amendment does not need to be changed one bit, only the federal law. You made the point that the fifth amendment would need to be altered, I asked for clarification. " You would need to change over 15,000 Federal laws and statues – including the 5th amendment" |
I realize Habeas corpus is very complex thing to understand. Doesn't invalidate the point, that someone's attempt to make something simpler in the way they think it should, will often in effect, make things more complex. As long as things are equal, I don't really care, but they chose the most simple and obvious solution.
You idea isn’t the first time anyone has suggested that. It just seems to be coming from a non practical ideal that require significantly more work than a simple act of removing a bias that is not substantiated even in the most basic analysis required by civil law.
Rhode Island has made a simple and positive effect in it’s state’s civil code to remove gender bias regarding civil marriage rights by enacting Marriage Equality. Problem solved, marriages are to begin in August.
