Adler: X-Men Aren't Human

The frighteningly intelligent minds at The Volokh Conspiracy have been engaged in a vigorous discussion as to the constitutional rights of the X-Men. Jonathan Adler sets the record straight:

It seems that discussions about whether the equal protection clause applies to the X-Men and other mutants is moot. As the Disenchanted Idealist notes, a federal court has already determined that the X-Men (and other superheroes) are "nonhuman creatures," at least for the purposes of U.S. trade law.

'nuff said.
