Where do they get their authority to do so?

Superior firepower and teh complacency of the People. Just because they do it, does not make it right, legal, ethical or just.

Well there's nothing in the VA Constitution specifically authorizing the Legislature to outlaw prostitution, or beastiality for that matter, and the VA General Assembly does it.

Where do they get their authority to do so?

Exactly DC..

We allow States to infringe upon our most basic rights on small matters like 'outlawing' prostitution, -- and the next thing we know, complacent clowns like hughie, robbie & mith get the insane idea they have the power to prohibit guns.

Weird people.
