Are you saying that the people on this thread who are in agreement with the Cato Institute are NOT advocating that the SC overturn it

I'm saying that you made a charge, I asked you to cite the posts. You cannot. Because you made it up, as usual.

Will you come out and say then, that you hope the SC does NOT overturn the law?

Why would I say that? I don't care one way or the other. It has never been overturned judicially that I'm aware of, but I think it has been overturned legislatively many times.

You act like overturning a bad law is something your band of merry men thinks is bad, is that so?

The title of this thread is "Libertarians Join Liberals in Challenging Sodomy Law". I stated "What I find funny is that the libertarians are in favor of the law being overturned by judicial fiat, with no legislative action. It seems as far as social issues go, the libertarians favor judicial activism as much as liberals do." I didn't make a charge, I stated a fact based on the title of this thread and the people who agree with it.

Nope, the title of the thread backs me up.

Because you took such exception to my statement, I think you should come out and state what your position is.

I don't care one way or the other.

Hmmmm.... Your posts indicate otherwise, but if you say so I will take you word for it.

Yes - if said law was constitutional for most of our history, overturing it in court IS a bad thing. That is what legislatures and amendments are for. Letting courts amend our constitution on their own makes it eventually meaningless.
