Lawrence v. Texas was an attempt to overturn the law from day one.
In this same sex divorce case, you will note that there are several such cases being run through the courts.
It’s not like there is a single case. There is a single case that overturns the law.
There are plenty of attempts until they find victory.
I am not in favor of gay marriage, but Lawrence was a good decision in that it was a step in keeping the government out of people’s bedrooms and overturned laws that prohibited certain acts between consenting adults, both heterosexual and homosexual.
