Define "sex toy".
Just do what the DEA has done, require a license to acquire schedule 1 drugs, and never issue that license. Instead require a permit to open a adult bookstore and never issue that permit.
When I was a kid if I hadn’t had a hole in my pocket I wouldn’t have had no toys to play with.
Since when is government the protector of morality? They do everything they can to make that word meaningless.
Define "sex toy".
No matter what you think of said device or product, the thought of federal oversight of it is infinitesimally more perverse.
I’ve always said the government would someday tax masturbation. Why not tax sex aids? :)
“Lawrence was at the very least an incoherent Supreme Court decision in that it was intentionally vague regarding the reasoning being used.”
Lawrence was incoherent because there is no constitutional basis for the decision. It was just five justices who disagreed with a state law. Ultimately, that was the rationale for the decision.
But when you try to manufacture a credible rationale out of whole cloth, it usually comes out incoherent. When courts abandon principle, there then becomes no way to distinguish Lawrence from a state law prohibiting protest outside abortion clinics, except that Justice Kennedy thinks sodomy is a good thing while exercising your free speech rights outside an abortion clinic is not.
Of course, there is a simple way to distinguish the two situations—the constitution protects free speech but not sodomy. But who cares about that when Justice Kennedy knows better.
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).
This is BS, the courts have no business ruling on what is moral and what isn’t. Soon, we would be as bad as the muslims, ruling on morality of individuals and slapping them in jail or stoning them to death. You can’t let courts do this kind of crap because there is no end to it once it starts.
Guess I won’t be allowed to plant cucumbers in my garden.
They can never ban Mother Palm and her 5 girls.
