Here I agree with you. Although the laws are intended to only be enforced against public or wantonly indiscreet behavior, that's not how they're written. The Texas sodomy case muddies the waters on such things since, independent of a 'right of privacy' defence, there should also be a laches defence. BTW, does anyone know what the legal status of the case is--whether the Court's decision was upholding a conviction or an indictment? If the latter, I would think a laches defense might be a viable strategy if it's not been tried yet.

I don't know.

There were some threads on the case in the last 10 days or so. Maybe a search? I recall the cops were in the house for another reason and caught the two doing a real nasty.
