I can tell you many other ways that California has gone downhill, but let me ask you, should we have put adulterers, homosexuals, and promiscuous people in jail to have a cleaner society?

There is no such creature as a "homosexual" or an "adulterer" etc. So, no I don't believe in imposing punitive action for fictitious creatures.

On the other hand, there is vile behavior called adultery, sodomy, pederasty, bestiality etc. Healthy and vigrous societies have lawsy had laws against such behavior.

Edmund Burke was the first true conservative and he would have said yes, such laws are wise and good. These laws developed over centuries and even millennia, not because someone had some trendy, fashionable, fascist idea to have government peek into bedroom windows, but because such laws reflected a shared hard-won wisdom that such behavior is fundamentally detrimental to society. In our country these laws have only been cast off wholesale in the past 35-40 years and the result is the current sexual sewer conditions--public, not merely private--in California.

There is a place for such laws. SCOTUS should keep its buttinski nose out of it. Let California die of moral rot and sexual permissivness. Let other states choose life, if that is the will of their people.

I see, human rights are subject to the vote of the majority. We should put adulterers and homos and others in jail.

You're a real piece of work. What country are you posting from? You really need to find a theocracy somewhere, for your own mental health. This freedom thing seems to be against your religion.

But God forbid a state try to pass a medical marijuana statute. Then the FedGov is completely justified in interfering.
