I will save everyone a lot of trouble.
Oh NO!!! If the SCUS overturns the Texas sodomy law it will result in (public sex between gays, more porn magazines (like cozmo), the legalization of sex with kids/animals, and/or the complete and total unraveling of our social structure)
There, I just saved a lot of people a lot of time.

In your learned opinion what constitutional violation will the court cite to overturn this law?
To: Texasforever
Sorry. This is a topic that can not be discussed on this board. It quickly degenerates into a name calling session. It is almost as bad as saying something the GWB is doing is not 100% perfect.

The law will be upheld on 10th amendment grounds. Sorry.

In your learned opinion, when will CFR be overturned?
To: Texasforever
What about equal protection under the law?

In your learned opinion, when will CFR be overturned? It will not be overturned only the issue ad ban portion that has a 1st amendment component to it.
To: Karsus
What about equal protection under the law? Only if the law applies only to gays. The Texas law applies to all.
To: Karsus
I stand corrected, Texas law only applies to gays. It may be overturned unless the law is changed.

One question, what right does the state have to control what I do with my wife in bed?
From:
http://news.christiansunite.com/religion/religion02763.shtml
"The high court announced Dec. 2 it would review a Texas court decision sustaining a state law banning sexual relations between members of the same sex. Arguments in the case should be heard early next year, and a ruling is expected by next summer."

One question, what right does the state have to control what I do with my wife in bed? Have you been arrested?
To: Texasforever
No. But if they law is to be applied fairly then I/we could be. Last time I checked this was still America and the laws were ment to be enforced equally.
But that didn't answer my question. What right does the state have in regulating what my wife and I do in bed? We are both consenting adults.

The fact is that the old "blue" laws serve a purpose. The old MANN Act is still on the books and is the only federal law involving sex in the country. I think the last time anyone was charged under the law was one of the old gangsters in the '30s.
To: Texasforever
What purpose is that? I fail to see what right the state has in regulating what my wife and I do in bed.

This is just from a very quick read of the MANN act. I may be wrong.
This: "Transportation generally Whoever knowingly transports any individual in interstate or foreign commerce, or in any Territory or Possession of the United States, with intent that such individual engage in prostitution, or in any sexual activity for which any person can be charged with a criminal offense, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than five years, or both" seams to say that if I take my wife to a state where it is againts the law to have oral sex, and we have oral sex, then we could go to prison for five year? That is insane.

I fail to see what right the state has in regulating what my wife and I do in bed. For the simple reason that the law is not targeted at you and your wife it is in reality targeted at homosexuals who have a real tendency to not be content to limit their sexual activities to the bedroom even with this law. Homosexuals only have sodomy as a sexual choice and I can promise you they practice it with gusto in Houston. They are hardly oppressed. As I said, since this law is strictly for homosexuals it may well be overturned.
To: Texasforever
But that violates the equal protection clause of the USC.

There are already laws about sex in public. Sex acts in public are already covered under seperate laws.
