You were elated with the Lawrence v Texas SCOTUS decision. How does that accord with "limited government" at the federal level?

I believe my position on the issue was "not an issue for the fed, but coerced funding for the advancement of ideas not approved of by those being robbed, is immoral".

Perhaps you have a different view of elation than I do.

'Elation' aside, -- the Lawrence v Texas SCOTUS decision is in accord with "limited government" at the federal level by putting ALL levels of governrment on notice that violations against life, liberty, & property will not be allowed without due process..


In theory.. -- Naturally, we can't hold our breath that the same theory will be applied to CA assault weapon prohibitions..
