“No matter what you think of said device or product, the thought of federal oversight of it is infinitesimally more perverse.”
Spot on.
The Nanny State Sycophants wish to have no limits on their power.
“And Justice Kennedy who wrote the majority opinion in Lawrence, will likely be the deciding vote when Ted Olson takes the Prop 8 case before the SCOTUS.”
Sad. Isn’t it? But those middle class gun-clingers need to be put in their place by their betters.
Justice Kennedy understands morality far better than did Jesus Christ. Jesus was such a stick-in-the-mud on that adultery/one flesh issue—of course, you can’t really blame Jesus, people didn’t understand things then as well as enlightened people like Justice Kennedy do today. It’s good we have people like Justice Kennedy to put Jesus in his place.
“...the thought of federal oversight of it is infinitesimally more perverse.”
Of course, the federal government wasn’t involved at all—until federal courts decided that the federal government had to override state law on the issue.
So I agree with what you said. But not what you meant.
You’re absolutely right. Activist rulings harm us all no matter which side we’re on. Liberal justices just can’t get it through their thick heads that consistency in the law is usually more important than what is perceived, by them, as social justice. Every time they upend the proverbial apple cart with inconsistent rulings based on personal preferences (with an aim to “fix” society), they actually ruin the very system of laws they are supposed to uphold.
Personally, I think laws against sex toys are ridiculous, but the right to buy or use one is simply not constitutionally protected. When the SCOTUS makes up new law by judicial fiat, they throw a wide range of other law into absolute chaos. If a constitutional law is truly bad, the PEOPLE will eventually overturn it. We don’t need judges to do our job for us.
Yeah...um....’visceral’.
That’s the ticket.
;]
I’d like a smaller bike for back road riding.
Is your Duke a ‘she’?
Maybe we could lock them in our shop for a night.
:)
“This is who I am.”
;-D
[I thought it *quite* “on-topic”, myself]
*snicker*
In fact it cut right to the heart of it ... in your inimitable way. heh
Given that buggery is considered a “right” — whatever passed for reasoning there is bound to pass for reasoning when considering any toy, unless it is an item which can be proven physically harmful (and even then the masochist sector may demur). I detest this state of affairs, but it seems that hole has been drilled (no pun intended).
Don’t ride it nude — you’ll scorch your feet.
One person’s sex toy is another person’s joy ride.
[oh, bloody hell...that didn’t come out right at all, did it?]
;D
I just wanted to make something clear, the cases mentioned did not involve federal oversight at all. They involved State laws in Texas and Alabama and how the respective federal appellate courts that encompass those States ruled about the laws within those States regarding bans on sex toys.

Would they chop my hands off in Alabama?
I’ll wear thigh-high leather boots.
Everything will be just fine as frog hair.
:)
[actually, the inside of my right thigh is what gets fried..it’s right above the jugs ~and~ pipes]
Look on the upside.
Without deviant sex devices, we’d have no hilarious “bizarre objects found in x-rays” websites to laugh at.
I think just your thumbs.
[I take it that you don’t watch “Sons Of Anarchy”]....;D
Must be a girl’s toy. (No p-pad...)
I have a Corbin solo.
-No- riders.
[and there’s spikes back there too just in case somebody “gets stupid”...I have a hard enough time keeping the front end down off the line]
:)
This being late night when most of the kiddies are in bed, I might venture a guess that most of the items that find a bizarre, perverted use probably aren’t purpose made for that. In addition to the proverbial gerbil... well maybe I won’t say anything more.
