Reference no: EM131246637

Assume that Joe Jones, a male resident of the state of Georgia, sues the state of Georgia in federal court to overturn a Georgia statute which prevents him, because of his gender, from attending the state's all-female public college. The U.S. Supreme Court finds that there is a rational foundation for Georgia's preservation of the all-female college and dismisses Jones' suit. In deciding this case, the SCOTUS erred in:

A) Applying the wrong standard of review to the case;

B) Granting certiorari to Jones in the first place;

C) Failing to consider appropriate provisions of the Equal RightsAmendment:

D) Ignoring pertinent provisions of Title IX of the Educational Amendments of 1972;

E) Attempting to impose a federal solution on an issue falling within the jurisdiction of a state
