No, you guys (social conservatives) never seem to figure out that once you give government the authority to enforce morality, they can cram pretty much whatever they want down your throat, even if you find it objectionable.

Um, last time I checked, laws do enable the government to enforce morality. That's how functioning societies remain civilized.

I would think you, and others like you, would be more concerned with the trashing of the Consittution from a judicial system gone wild.

We enable the government to protect the rights of others. You don’t have the right to harm somebody else or their property, or otherwise infringe on their liberty. Sexual relations between two consenting adults does not qualify.

I am concerned about the way this decision was reached. That’s why I’m saying we should be removing the government from these types of issues.
