Dworkin, supra note 260 at 273 (the right to equal treatment is "perhaps" properly applicable in the reapportionment cases). [FN293l. Ibid. [FN294J. See e.g. Kotch v. Board o[River Port Pilot Comrs. 330 U.S. 552. 67 S.Ct. 910 (1947). [FN295]. Nixon v. Administrator of General Sen 1ices. 433 U.S. 425 at 506. 97 S.Ct. 2777 (1977). [FN296J. Ibid. ("[T]his Court has held that the presumption of constitutionality does not apply with equal force where the very legitimacy of the composition of representative institutions is at stake.") (citing Revnolds v. Sims. 377 U.S. 533. 84 S.Ct. 1362 (1964)). [FN297J. Ibid. Of course, a court that has adopted Dworkin's right to equal concern and respect into its equality jurisprudence may assert that its adoption was of some "core concept" and not of all the elements of the theory as promulgated; in other words, that the court is not necessarily bound by the theory's self-limitations. In such a case, however, it would seem that the court would be under a duty to publicly demonstrate the severability of the limitation. That would be especially so where, as here, the theory is a carefully integrated and unitary piece of legal craftsmanship that does not suggest any rational or logical basis for severance of the limitation. To jettison a part of the theory that stands in the way of a particular end (genderless marriage) on unpersuasive grounds may fairly open such a court to serious charges against its institutional integrity.

Even the impulse to magnanimity would come to condemn the judicial action if, in time, the societal costs incurred (and judicially denied at the outset) mount and mount. [FN306J. Romer v. Evans, supra note 298 [FN307J. Bowers v. Hardwick. 478 U.S. 186. 106 S.Ct. 2841 (1986), overruled by Lawrence v. Texas, supra note 42. [FN308]. Romer v. Evans, supra note 298 at 641. [FN309].

Tradition, as Sunstein notes, plays no comparable limiting role in equality jurisprudence. Sunstein, supra note 58 at 69. The most famous American equal protection case, Brown v. Board of Education (together with its progeny), demonstrates this difference; the long and wide-spread American tradition of race-segregated schools (de jure and de facto) was not a constraint on the court's power but rather the very target of that power. The limitations on a court's power under an equality guarantee reside not in tradition but in the polity's equality jurisprudence. [FN313J.
