I believe SCOTUS hasn’t ruled that age is a “suspect classification” under the 14th amendment.

The federal ADEA (the Age Discrimination in Employment Act) only creates a right of action for people over 40.

It’s a weird one for sure. I wonder, if age were a suspect classification like sex, if the ADEA itself would be unconstitutional.

I mean wether SCOTUS found a right in the 14th amendment is neither here nor there. These sorts of things tend to come from laws passed by legislators.
