Oh I see you have fallen into the trap of thinking that its it unconstitutional to pass laws against abhorrent behavior.

You're right - I actually read that troublesome 10th Amendment. Funny how that keeps getting in the way of those who want the government to enforce their own personal morality.

You must have missed the troublesome word "states" when you read the 10th amendment.

So you think the 10th amendment can shield prohibit these laws?

Amendment X

The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the states, are reserved to the states respectively, or to the people.

OK so the people tell the state that they want homosexual acts to be against the law. The state passes the Law. Now you think that the Federal Judges should over rule the law? Or perhaps you think the State Judges should overthrow the will of the people who made the law. That sir is a sick perversion of the constitution. If you can take that stance then all laws are null and void if you can find a judge who will strike it. Well that is beyond the judges power. Why don't you go back to DU.
