[The Ghost of FReepers Past]

First of all, it is too late. Lawrence is law. Yes it could be overturned since it was itself an overturning of a previous ruling, but really, who is going to challenge it? I don't see it happening. Not even as likely as Roe being overturned even though Roe has been law longer.

Second, I happen to REMEMER what everyone was saying at the time. Almost no one was arguing that Lawrence was bad. A few conservative lawyer types saw the problem. MOST people, even conservatives, couldn't make the conntection. It was "what two people do in the privacy of their own bedroom is nobody's business." I know because I was busy arguing with people about it.

Even Clarence Thomas who voted against Lawrence made the argument against the Texas state law. No one seemed to see the purposes of sodomy laws until we started experiencing the consequences of Lawrence. Even still, most people can't seem to get it through their thick skulls.

That is a lousy excuse but it is enough of one. Name another candidate who favors a return of anti-sodomy laws. I wish they all held that position but they don't. Perhaps some of them see the error of Lawrence, but were they arguing against it at the time? I doubt it. Do they think sodomy should be illegal. I SERIOUSLY doubt it. Wimps all!!!

Thank you for your thoughts. I believe Lawrence came about when uniformed officers enter the home of the perpetrators who were caught in the act. I agree it is not likely to be overturned, and I'm not in favor of overturning it since I like the precedent that what we do in our homes is entirely a private matter. I can see the case being a good president to being able to meet in our homes and have a bible study and speak frankly  and openly about Muslim Radicals, homosexuals without fear of prosecution under laws not yet enacted but I expect will be some day. So I am agreeing whole heartedly with you on that point.
