MONTGOMERY, Ala. — The U.S. Supreme Court declined today to hear a challenge to Alabama's ban on the sale of sex toys, ending a nine-year legal battle and sending a warning to store owners to clean off their shelves. An adult-store owner had asked the justices to throw out the law as an unconstitutional intrusion into the privacy of the bedroom. But the Supreme Court declined to hear the appeal, leaving intact a lower court ruling that upheld the law. Sherri Williams, owner of Pleasures stores in Huntsville and Decatur, said she was disappointed, but plans to sue again on First Amendment free speech grounds. "My motto has been they are going to have to pry this vibrator from my cold, dead hand. I refuse to give up," she said.

Sorry, but the SCOTUS got this one right. It is a states issue.

While I wouldn’t be caught dead in one of those stores even armed with a bottle of Lysol, that law seems silly. Just becuase something isn’t “marketed” as a sex toy, doesn’t mean it might not be used as one. Good grief, just think of all the folks who get their jollies looking at shoes or wearing diapers or waving around feather dusters.

The Supremes were right not to take the case but the law is still stupid.
