The U.S. Constitution's Equal Protection Clause in within the Fourteenth Amendment

Section 1.
All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.

The Equal Protection Clause itself applies only to state governments. However, the Supreme Court held in Bolling v. Sharpe (1954) that equal protection requirements apply to the federal government through the Due Process Clause of the Fifth Amendment.

Does it matter if the laws apply to a racial group or an age group? What does equality really mean?

The whole concept of the laws supporting the Department of Children and Families (DCF Kid$ For Cash) seem to violate the concept of the Equal Protection Clause , if children are given more than equal protection of the laws. This constitutes blatant age discrimination.

Child pornography laws also seem to violate this Equal Protection Clause thru age discrimination.

Every law that favors a particular group (the elder, children, women, etc) is in violation of the U.S. Constitution.

It confers upon Congress power to see to it that the protection given by the laws of the States shall be equal in respect to life and liberty and property to all persons

Equal justice under law is a phrase engraved on the front of the United States Supreme Court building in Washington. D.C.

All laws written to protect any class of citizens violates the Equal Protection Clause.

The concept of immunity also violates the Equal Protection Clause.

This Constitution, and the Laws of the United States which shall be made in pursuance thereof; and all treaties made, or which shall be made, under the authority of the United States, shall be the supreme law of the land; and the judges in every state shall be bound thereby, anything in the constitution or laws of any state to the contrary notwithstanding.
Supremacy Clause: Article 6, Clause 2

The United States is entirely a creature of the Constitution. Its power and authority have no other source. It can only act in accordance with all the limitations imposed by the Constitution.
Reid v Covert 354 US l (1957)

Every judge in every court of the States is under oath or affirmation to support the Constitution of the United States. When any litigation arises out of the constitution of his State or out of any of its laws it is by this clause made his duty to "be bound" by the National Constitution and laws and in a proper case to hold the State constitution or law to be void for conflict with "the supreme law of the land."
