I googled "Premium Dates" and this is what I got....Come to think of it, they're better than the other kind of date too!

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.

Been called worse.
My opinion on this law is clearly presented further up the thread.
However, since the Second Amendment clearly states that no state shall pass a law banning arms.
There is no such provision for sex toys. I think the law is stupid and a perfect example of nanny-state bullsh*t, but Constitutionally, I think the SCOTUS was correct here.
Let Alabama be backwards and repressed if they choose to.
Even under the commerce clause, however, it would be difficult for the court to rule otherwise in this case. Besides, this will prove impossible to enforce. The state of Florida passed a similar ban on pornography in the 1980s (freepers, correct me if I'm wrong) but outside of isolated cases, it has never been enforced.
May I suggest a better grade of dates?

They must be really good, if just thinking of it does the trick for you ...

Probably more like it’s lunch time and my lasagne isn’t here yet :)
“Alabama-— We don’t think toys or fun should have anything to do with sex.”
I work in a small rural town that happens to be on an interstate. Some national chain of Adult XXX stores bought some property and low and behold we have a hugh high sign welcoming people to our little town advertising XXX Adult STore. It is disgusting. It needs to be somewhere else. Alot of people and I am one of them would not stop and get even gas at such a exit.
Are you series?
Geez.
No fun.
Yes, but it’s apparently OK if a man or substantial donor posts one.
THE TRUTH SHALL SET YOU FREE!!!!!!!!!
ruh roh
Watch out! The truth stings some folks.
That it does.
Oh no! Millee’s banned?
Who will post all the fun threads?
Pea...........never mind, she has been gone for a long time.
That is with this?
I nominate you Hoodie. : )
Considering the idiotic ways privacy has been read into the Constitution, this guy probably would have had a point if the court makeup had been different. How ludicrous would it have been for the Supreme Court to declare a national right to buy sex toys?
This kind of regulation is rightly kept at the state level.
