We really should have had this conversation pre-Enquist

Classmate and I applied for the same job, and haven't heard anything yet . . . .

Classmate: There should be a support group for people like us who busted our butts in law school but are hanging onto our last hopes for jobs. I would make an equal protection argument for myself, but would likely fail as I doubt I could get much better than rational basis review as there is no way "persons with [physical characteristic]" is a protected class.

Me: Yeah, chunky red-head isn't a protected class either, though I've got the whole woman thing going for me. Intermediate scrutiny -- woo! Of course, the justification for disparate treatment would be "she's awkward in an interview."
