Is a classification scheme permissible under the equal protection obligation imposed by the fifth amendment?
MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Klarfeld v. U.S., 944 F.2d 583 (9th Cir. 1990):
A classification scheme is permissible under the equal protection obligation imposed by the fifth amendment's due process clause, so long as it does not employ a classification that is inherently invidious or that impinges on fundamental rights, if it "classif[ies] the persons it affects in a manner rationally related to legitimate governmental objectives." Schweiker v. Wilson, 450 U.S. 221, 230, 101 S.Ct. 1074, 1080, 67 L.Ed.2d 186 (1981).
