Hugh, to recap a bit, -- I'm responding here to your at remarks at #338:

___________________________________

Babbling on does not change our Constitutions BOR's restrictions on our States, hugh.
I suggest you learn to live with them.

Again, I don't deny this. We're in agreement that the Constitution requires CA judges to adhere to the the 2nd Amendment.

Our Constitution requires CA judges to adhere to ALL of our Amendments & ALL of our rights, enumerated or not. -- You are irrationally denying that clear fact, hugh.

I didn't know making moonshine was a self-evident inalianable human right. A state does indeed have that power, since it's not enumerated.

We have the right to preserve food by making booze, beer or wine from our surplus corn, fruit or whatever; -- thus your ignorance on the subject of unenumerated rights is obvious.
Our self evident inalienable human rights are the same in any State of our Union. So says our supremacy clause & BOR's.

A state also has the power to outlaw prostitution. Many states do, but Nevadans might think it's an unalienable right for a woman to make money from her body as she chooses.

No hugh, States have the power to reasonably ~regulate~ the commercial aspects of prostitution. It's an unavoidable fact of life hugh, that a woman has an inalienable right to make money from using her body as she so chooses. -- We all do. --- The State can only TRY to regulate the more commercial aspects of such 'sinful' behavior.
It can't win, because individual rights get in its way.

-----------------------------------

This exchange above is where you started your prostitution rant.
-- Unable to win your point on booze prohibition, you've switched to insisting that prohibitions on prostitution make your point.

In effect, you're insisting that "A state has the power to outlaw prostitution", because it's NOT "an unalienable right for a woman to make money from her body as she chooses."


-- Even though you admit that in Nevada, a woman does have "an unalienable right for a woman to make money from her body as she chooses."

Hugh, I suggest you think a bit more about the logic of your position.

VA, WV, NC, and SC have all outlawed prostitution, which means they have made prostitution illegal.

Yet you admit that -- "Nevadans might think it's an unalienable right for a woman to make money from her body as she chooses."
-- You can't 'outlaw' an inalienable right, hughie, you can only regulate the public aspects of such behaviors.

It doesn't mean they have "regulated" it. "Regulating" something means you tolerate the practice, but control it. Making something illegal, that is "outlawing" it, means you don't tolerate it at all. Many states have outlawed prostitution, constitutionally and legally.

Nope, not constitutionally. As you admitted earlier, you can't peep in bedrooms to enforce such 'laws'. ~That~ is illegal.

As of the 21st Amendment, States reserve the power to outlaw the manufacture of intoxicating liqors.

They do? Are you seeing a penumbra? That power is not in the 21st, hughie. Only the transportation or importation is prohibited, IF contrary to valid, constitutional State laws.

When you call someone ignorant, try to know what you're talking about. I know it's hard for you. I'm a patient teacher though.

How amusing. Your self puffery as a 'teacher' is ignorance personified.

"As you admitted earlier, you can't peep in bedrooms to enforce such 'laws'"

That was in the context of no probable cause.

"Regulating" something means you tolerate the practice, but control it, tax it, discourage it, whatever. Making something illegal, that is "outlawing" it, means you don't tolerate it at all. Many states have outlawed prostitution, constitutionally and legally.
