Reply #4: Umm, 14th amendment, equal protection clause violation.

A state has the right to provide equal protection under any law. You can't say one group of 19 & 20 year olds can get drunk and another group of the same age cannot. That by basic definition is a violation of the 14th amendment. I swear any politician elected should have to take at least 3 college courses in political science, this is basic poli sci 101.

This is no different from when the EPA tried to enforce Clean Air Act regulations in urban areas but not in rural areas (under W. for revised standards to particulate matter). This action by the EPA was stopped due to the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, you can't protect half the population for a pollutant and not protect the other half.

It is either the state of AK says anyone over 19 can drink or the law is void.
