Gladstone v. Bartlesville Independent School District No. 303/18/2003
line-drawing is an inevitable aspect of the legislative function. Acknowledging, as we must, the presumptive validity of legislative enactments, coupled with the well-settled rule that courts do not sit as superlegislatures, we cannot say that the disputed classification scheme is so irrational as to fail constitutional scrutiny.
Although we are not unmindful that the exclusion of only those persons who are protected by workers' compensation might appear unfair and inequitable, we find absolutely no basis in the equal protection or due process analyses for its condemnation as invidious discrimination or as otherwise offensive to some principle of fundamental federal or state law.
On certiorari granted upon the widow's petition, the Court of Civil Appeals' opinion is vacated and the trial court's summary judgment is affirmed.
ALL JUSTICES CONCUR.
