Didnβt say I passed the bar - said I *sat* for the bar π Iβm still upset about this question because it doesnβt make sense under EP, but does make sense under P&I. π€·πΌββοΈ

Damn, I had it right and somebody here who said they just passed the bar in CA proclaimed that it had to be A because it wasnβt an equal protection issue. But I remember it was an equal protection issue when the Supreme Court decided in the 80s and public schools had to admit undocumented children (OK, I googled it) and it seemed crazy that schools that had to admit undocumented children could bar kids who moved from another US state (which would make it impossible for parents to ever move unless they were rich enough to afford private schools). At the same time, I also know that itβs absolutely legal for states to have requirements like this for college students regarding in-state tuition, which I would assume negates the commerce clause/P&I issue.

This answer is infuriating along with the opinion: βSince the classification here touches on the fundamental right of interstate movement, its constitutionality must be judged by the stricter standard of whether it promotes a compelling state interest. Under this standard, the waiting-period requirement clearly violates the Equal Protection Clause.β
Itβs the Privileges and Immunities Clause that protects interstate travel, not EPC.
This is why law students lose their minds. π€¦πΌββοΈ
