Dear Editor: The judicial darling of the right wing, Antonin Scalia, has recently publicly stated in an interview in California Lawyers magazine that the U.S. Constitution does not guarantee equal rights for women. That’s right, a woman in Scalia’s view may be treated differently than a man in economic or legal matters without violating any provisions of the U.S. Constitution.

Based on the recent Scalia court’s Citizens United ruling, corporations appear to have greater legal rights in many areas than women. I cannot, after 30 years as a lawyer, find the word corporation anywhere in the Constitution. The 14th Amendment to the Constitution does, however, guarantee all natural persons “equal protection,” so logically, Scalia does not think that women are natural persons. A late 1860s federal decision appears to be the basis for Scalia’s belief that corporations, unlike women, are natural persons.

I would thus advise all young women to consider incorporating themselves, as clearly it would enhance their legal standing in Scalia’s court. In addition, Sue Inc. or Jane Corp. could then spend unlimited amounts as a corporation in support of her favorite political candidates, unlike Sue or Jane individually, who would still be subject to campaign contribution limits.
