Equal Protection (graded)
Doctor Goo Fee, a licensed psychotherapist, has been charged
with violating a new state statute making it a crime for “any licensed

constitutionality of the statute on two grounds:(a) the statute intrudes on his
right to privacy and (b) that the statute violates the Equal Protection Clause
of the Fourteenth Amendment in that it fails to apply the same prohibition to
other health care professionals.

in his challenge to the statute? If you were a judge faced with these
constitutional questions, how would you be inclined to rule? What additional
information do you think you would need in order to render your decision?

such a late hour. Zero told the officer that he lived only a few blocks away,
was suffering from insomnia, and had decided to take a walk. Zero produced
identification that confirmed he lived a short distance from the store. The
officer then grabbed Zero, swung him around, and pushed Zero against the wall
of the store. The officer then frisked Zero. After feeling a hard object in
Zero’s back pocket, the officer reached in and discovered a small 3″ X
