More idiocy from the bench. Constitutional for 201 years. Now suddenly, not.

All hail our exalted black-robed leaders!

Yes, ocassionally some of them get it right, as in this case. Rights always trump powers of the state.

Judges updating constitutions as they see fit is not "getting it right". "Everybody does it" is not an excuse for judicial legislation.

You do not have a God-given right to shack up.

Rights are unalienable, correct?

Then where do they come from?

If from the State, then rights are alienable.

If from the People, then rights are alienable.

If from God, then they are unalienable.

Now tell me how God grants us the unalienable right to fornicate.
