The Nоrth Cаrоlinа Depаrtment оf Agriculture issued a regulation banning the use of state grades on closed containers of apples sold in the state. The regulation specified that the only grade that could be used was the grade approved by the United States Department of Agriculture. Apple growers in Washington objected to this regulation, noting that they had spent a considerable amount of money developing a grading system acknowledged by those in the industry as being superior to the federal grading system. North Carolina, which also produces apples for sale, has no state grading system. In their lawsuit, the Washington apple growers allege the regulation was motivated by a discriminatory purpose. Which of the following would not be helpful in demonstrating discriminatory purpose?
A stаte thаt is subject tо severe winters generаlly allоws the use оf studded tires between October 1 and March 31. However, the legislation allows counties to opt out and prohibit the use of studded tires year round, because studded tires tend to tear up pavement more than nonstudded tires, thus necessitating more frequent road repairs. No other state in the region allows use of studded snow tires at all. The state law contains one exception: it excludes “doctors” from any county ban on the use of snow tires because they might have to cross county lines in emergencies. After the passage of the legislation, only one county in the state invoked its right to ban the use of studded snow tires.A lawyer who lives in the state was angered that the legislature had given special privileges to doctors but not to lawyers. One January day, with studded tires on his car, he drove from his home county, which allowed use of studded tires, into the county that banned them. A sheriff’s officer noticed the lawyer’s studded tires and cited him. After being convicted and fined, the lawyer appealed.What is the lawyer’s best argument for getting the ban invalidated?
