Update: Man who Wanted Red Tote Bag Loses

Apparently the Tote Bag Amendment could not be found in the Constitution after all:

"A judge has dismissed a lawsuit claiming the Angels discriminated against men by giving tote bags to women during a Mother's Day baseball game.

Orange County Superior Court Judge Jonathan Cannon ruled Thursday that the giveaway was not biased against men and that the May 8, 2005 event was a way to honor mothers.

The lawsuit, filed by Los Angeles psychologist Michael Cohn, claimed thousands of men and fans under age 18 were each entitled to $4,000 in damages because they were treated unfairly. Women over 18 received the gifts that day.

The guy concerned sounds rather pathetic. Or maybe he just thought he had found a way to cash in on his "hurt". His only achievement is that the organization has now halted its attempts to honor mothers. I mentioned the case last May 18
