prohibit the constitutionally provided means of exercising the moral judgment of the majority of our citizens is a direct blow to the very principles

Not quite sure about that.

Surely, you must agree that there are some elements of individual liberty regarding which the majority has no right to legislate.

I suspect that Justice Kennedy (although I disagree with many of his decisions) feels the same way, although he would draw the line differently.

Here's the nut of the matter:

"The case for homosexual sodomy is not weak under the Court’s reading of the Constitution — it is extraordinarily strong. Hence the argument is very powerful, on logical grounds, for an expansive interpretation of its meaning and scope, which lends support to Muth’s view that the right should encompass consensual adult incest as well."

Let the black-robed vultures squirm their way out of this one.
