Invoked the right to privacy under the 14th amendment.
There are no reservations, so Steve Cintani on FOXNEWS speculates that all sodomy laws in the 13 states that have them will also be overturned.

Did they find a way for laws against incest to not be subject to the right to privacy ?

There is no right to privacy in the 14th amendment. It was invented by leftists to protect certain immoral behaviors, like abortion, and will eventually be used by the left to support overturning laws against child molestation and pornography.

Of the thirteen states, only three or four (I believe) have anti-sodomy laws written narrowly, as the Texas law was. The others are more broad, and may not be affected - depending on just what the Supremes said in their ruling.

"Invoked the right to privacy under the 14th amendment. "So, can I smoke pot in the privacy of my home?
Can I molest my children?
Can I make bombs?
Where will the line be drawn now?

Invoked the right to privacy under the 14th amendment. This is bizarro as hell, pardon my french. I could have expected it to have been overturned on equal protection grounds (i.e. because TX didn't forbid male to female anal sex acts on equal terms) but "privacy"?

Didn't the court earlier this week effectively say that the fouteenth amendment didn't exist. What are these people smoking?

Credit where it's due: YOU WERE CORRECT.
The Supremes are wrong.

And the Court's left wing legislated into existence a new "liberty of the person both in its spatial and more transcendent dimensions..."
Fascinating.
