I'd say that SCOTUS has no jurisdiction over this, but no Southern state has exercised the 10th & 11th Amendments since George Wallace's heyday.
Also, the Supreme Court ruled in 2019 against Mississippi, asserting that if a black man goes on trial and his jury does not have enough blacks on it then the verdict is invalid because it is racist.
The case was Flowers v. Mississippi and, in a weird role-reversal, Clarence Thomas voted against it.
Amendments 9&10 are regarded today as unusable for a lawsuit meaning that they are effectively dead. I never paid enough to #11, and I am glad for your comment. But what about a ninth amendment argument *** in favor *** of track and field for ALL WOMEN... (rubs hands)
Maybe ALL WOMEN have a right to play sports, an argument which reinvigorates the ninth amendment. I would gladly tolerate sports for all women (even those having no penis) were the ninth amendment to begin working again. What could possibly go wrong?
honk-honk!
