This is all fun stuff and will no doubt lead to some very clever jokes on The Daily Show. But there were also some very serious legal questions at stake. Namely, what limits does the U.S. Constitution place on the legislative power of state governments, and what role do federal judges play in enforcing those limits? Related to that, what sort of unenumerated rights (if any) are protected from state infringement by the 14th Amendment?

Because that’s what hookers are for!
Oh, they were selling chastity belts.
I missed that in the legal holdings.
Alternatively, they were selling things that could be a public human hazard in house— not chastity belts.
The CopulaTED Candidate!
You’re the one that implied people should cover their privates with ‘helmets’ to protect them from ‘penetration’ with nonstandard ‘item’s.
Because ‘ealth and safety!’
Or something.
If you’re going to argue ‘implements’ and ‘health and safety’ vis a vis ‘emergency room visits’ and the state’s ability to limit those ‘implements’ in the name of public health, do NOT be surprised when the next ‘implements’ that might cause ‘emergency room visits’ they regulate are your very own firearms.
He was the Solicitor General. Which meant he worked for the Attorney General, who had to make the call. . .
“If he gets the nomination I hope Ted is prepared to be overrun by dildo questions from the moderators in Fall debates.”
Dildo Eruptions ?
Please explain to me how having our government decide what people are allowed to use to diddle themselves with is a conservative legal value.
Only outlaws will have dildos.
LOL!!
Oh yeah.
And having a really good friend who worked as a real live ER doc for 15 years (and keeps us highly entertained with stories of dumba@@es) you do NOT want to go to the produce department of any grocery store. You’d run out of lawsuits before you ran out of things there you’d want to outlaw.
That’s in the Declaration, not the Constitution, which Scalia has called a broadside, not a legal document.
Sex toys, along the same lines as abortion, are not a fundamental right protected in the Constitution. It’s just not in there, even if you want it to be, and even if you think Ted Cruz is a douche. Just not there. Sorry.
Today I learned that there is such a thing a “Trump Derangement Syndrome”. When people fall under his spell they completely abandon any inconvenient beliefs that get in the way of worshiping him.
They abandon the 10th amendment and states rights.
They think single payer health care isn’t so bad.
They start applauding MSNBC and CNN for being so “fair”.
They start hating Limbaugh, Levin and Sowell
They make fun of people who pray and call them “too Christian”.
They laugh when their god uses profanity in front of children or talks about his penis.
Snap out of it and come back to reality. You are better than this.
wow, what a useful and productive use of his time!! Thank you Mr. Overseer!!
I.e., the Declaration is a broadside.

“if people don’t like their state’s view of sexuality then they can move.”
Laws on interpersonal relationships ARE outside the pervue of State Government. States don’t have a Constitutional Right to regulate interpersonal relationships that do not involve prostitution. Religious nutcakes in Texas don’t have any business “legislating” other’s personal sexual behavior. Looks as though the Fifth Circuit and the SCOTUS have agreed. The idea that people would have to move to be able to use sex toys is a laughable notion. Good for the courts on this one.
“This is further proof of his conservative credentials and legal expertise. “
That would be use if we were selecting a lawyer but we’re not are we.
How do you propose to enforce what people do with their own zucchinis?
All hoochies belong to the state?
