SALT LAKE CITY — A federal judge has dismissed a lawsuit filed over Alta
ski resort’s snowboarding ban.
In the ruling handed down late Tuesday and obtained by FOX 13, U.S. District
Court Judge Dee Benson rejected a claim by the group Wasatch Equality that
they had a “constitutional right to snowboard at Alta Ski Resort.”
“To put it simply, Plaintiffs’ case fails because there is no law to
support it,” he wrote. “The Equal Protection Clause is not a general
fairness law that allows everyone who feels discriminated against to bring
an action in federal court.”
Judge Benson wrote that the snowboarders’ claims of equal protection is not
what the Fourteenth Amendment was anticipated to reach.
“There are many forums Plaintiffs can resort to in an attempt to accomplish
their goal of snowboarding down the Baldy Chutes at Alta,” Benson said. “
Seeking an injunction from this court is not one of them.”

"Alta and the Forest Service asked Benson to toss the lawsuit because the
Constitution doesn't guarantee anyone the right to snowboard."

参照海勒判决，类似起诉违宪的（第二修正案），费了多大的劲才以微弱的5：4 裁定
违宪。
真要是有好的律师想赢这个case，肯定从地方入手了。 |

保证的权利（right)。就如同driving is privilege, but not right.
