Lawrence vs. Texas, that was the case that overruled previous precedent, Bowers vs. Hardwick, thus legalizing homosexual sodomy. For me, the important part of this case is that a Supreme Court case CAN be over ruled, including Roe vs. Wade. Roberts said he would respect Supreme Court precedent, and Lawrence vs. Texas now IS Supreme Court precedent......

So you think Roberts was looking at the case from that angle?

Too bad the precedents for overruling SCOTUS can't work for issues like Kelo v. New London!
