Private-life speeches are not grounds for impeachment. Nor are crappy decisions. If or when she writes a decision without referencing U.S. law or the Constitution, give me a ping. Til then, this is much ado about nothing.

I disagree.

I'm sorry, I pinged, you.

The decision in Lawrence vs. Texas rendered by the Majority stated the following as part of their decision.

"Of even more importance, almost five years before Bowers was Decided the European Court of Human Rights considered a case with parallels to Bowers and to today's case.............The court held that the laws proscribing the conduct were invalid under the European Convention on Human Rights. Dudgeon v. United Kingdom, 45 Eur. Ct. H. R. (1981)."

This is placing European law over that of the Constitution and amounts to their excuse for overturning Bowers, an earlier Supreme Court decision, which upheld a law against sodomy.
