Perhaps roscoe, you could explain how states came to have a Constitutional right to prohibit guns & sin?

States don't have Constitutional rights nor is there a Constitutional right to sodomy, polygamy or incest, irrespective of the degrees of seperation.

This is a tenth amendment issue if ever there was one. The writers of the Constitution clearly endorsed laws outlawing sodomy.

If you want the Constitution to protect those things, you'll have to amend it. The 14th Amendment doesn't do it.

SCOTUS may once again follow the well worn path of Roe, overstep their bounds and the untintended consequences will surely follow. Homosexual marriage, polygamy, no degree of seperation incest, prostitution, these are all matters between consenting adults.

You and I may agree or disagree whether they are good, bad or indifferent but we will surely disagree on an overly strong central government finding rights in the Constitution that aren't, nor have ever been, in it.

And Santorum is both correct and courageous in addressing it now.

Bull.. Not in the constitution, they didn't.

Yes, it did do it.
Prohibitive 'sin' type laws violate due process.
It is not a sin to possess automatic weapons, drink booze or close your bedroom door. - And clowns that think it is are flat out weird.
