To the Editor:
As professor Stansell explains, the original intent of the words of the Fourteenth Amendment was to guarantee the rights of citizens, regardless of race or gender. To use this amendment to expand the rights of corporations (which are "legal persons" but not "natural persons") would be anathema to a "strict constructionalist" on the Supreme Court--if he were logically consistent.
