And the very name is an acknowledgement that the vesture of the palladium is derived from Lybia, for the Lybian women put around the robe their goat skins tasselled and stained with madder ({{lang|grc|ἐρευθεδάνω}}) and from these goat skins, ({{lang|grc|ἐχ δὲ τῶν αἰγἑων τουτἑων}}) the Greeks have taken the word '''aegis'''.}}

Watkins v. United States Army]]'') that homosexual ''persons'', as a particular kind of person, ''are'' entitled to Constitutional protections under the Equal Protection clause. To be gay in this system is to come under the radically overlapping '''aegises''' of a universalizing discourse of acts and a minoritizing discourse of persons.}}
