I think you are I are discussing two different things.
This law (the one the OP is about, and which I was referring to in the quote you chose ) violates the 14th amendment. The other may violate the 5th amendment. Potentially the 9th amendment as well. I've read it, it's on shaking ground at best.
Yes, I am referring to the other law, not this one, as I understand it could violate the 14th.
Here is the 5th:
No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a Grand Jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the Militia, when in actual service in time of War or public danger; nor shall any person be subject for the same offense to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation.
I am not sure I see how the other law could violate the 5th.
The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.
The 9th is admittedly a little vague, but I am not sure which rights you'd be specifically referring to?
