Cleburne v. Cleburne (1985)
- City council denied zoning permit to group home for the mentally disabled
- Court evaluates based on:
- History of discrimination
- Political powerlessness of group
- Immutability of characteristic/no relation to ability to perform
- Classification does not warrant heightened scrutiny, but Court strikes down zoning law anyway b/c based on “irrational prejudice” of mentally disabled [ANIMUS]
- RR+? – Court looks to actual interest and will not accept just any hypothetical reason
