and the potential acceptance under law that anything you do within the confines of your home is legal.

Do you support the Patriot Act?

I'm amazed at the number of people on this site who rant and rave at the government's invasion of the privacy of potential terrorists but have no problem with the government peeping into bedroom windows.

Do you get a volume discount on all the Red Herrings you have sinky? How about dealing with THIS case and THIS law?

I support the Patriot Act fully.

But I do have a problem with the government peeping into my bedroom window (although I wish there would be something for them to see *L*)

That's why this case is interesting. And why it was a difficult case back in the 50s.

I believe the SCOTUS will rule in favor of the states rights aspect of this case and not touch "sexual orientation" portion what so ever.

The government isn't "peeping into bedroom windows" with such legalislation. Has the government peeped into your bedroom windows lately? Do you really fear that it will unless such legislation is struck down by a majority of SCOTUS justices acting as an unelected super-legislature?

The case was a set up. A gay lover of one of the men called the cops. The door was left unlocked. They kept having anal sex even after the police entered the bedroom.

They could no more refuse to book them for the crime then they could if the men had been smoking crack.

This is a job for the legislature to decide, not the courts. The men wanted a test case to raise up with challenges.

The 2 men having sex were given a $200 fine. The man who made the false phone call was sentenced to 30 days.

Believe in a boogeyman looking in bedrooms if it makes you feel more confident in your position. You are being played by these homosexual activists (within a week of their arrest they discussed challenging the very nature of this law).
