Mullin v. Doe · ¶96

I join the opinion of the Court in full. I write separately to address two more fundamental problems with the Miot respondents’ suit. First, their equal protection claim, while meritless under the Court’s precedents, was also beyond the District Court’s jurisdiction. Second, even assuming jurisdiction, the equal protection claim fails for the additional reason that aliens have no equal protection rights against the Federal Government.
