How can the US enforce … what goes on everywhere 24 hours a day, 7 days week.

Umm… I thought this was a state's interests issue and not the federal governments concern, or would you and your “conservativeness” deny states rights? But let’s say ole tex is King and it is a federal issue for the moment, if a law is unenforceable because we can’t be watched 24/7 all the time we would have to throw out a lot of laws. Drug use laws, bestiality laws, incest laws, pandering laws, polygamy/polyandry laws, voluntary euthanasia laws, surrogate mother laws, jaywalking laws, etc. So King tex, which ones do we keep or throw out, either way your decision would be arbitrary.

Let's turn the discussion over to how could the US enforce any law against homosexuality and still be the US and still follow the Constitution?

Aside from that it’s a states issue, sodomy laws and the like forestall same-sex marriage, gay adoption and the embezzlement from non-relation health insurance benefits. I assume you being the good “conservative” that you are don’t want to see these things unlegislatable, right?

Face it, your Liberaltarianism is showing, pull up the back of them britches please.

You are excellent at dodging issues on technicalities.

States' rights then:

How does a state go about enforcing something that would require them to monitor everybody in that state and every location in that state, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week?

(you knew exactly what I meant, about how would any law like that be enforced, you chose to dodge it by saying it's not the federal government, well, try to dodge this one).

Let's see how strong your conservative roots are, would you support something that would require the state/local governments to monitor you and your family and your house 24 hours a day, 7 days a week?
