One other word on the matter. The government peeking in windows and respecting the Constitution and freedom are not mutually exclusive issues here. In Texas, where this cas emanates from arrests for consensual sex are as rare as blue moons.

You support an activist supreme court here because it advances your ideology. The problem with that is that it always, and I mean always, comes back to bite you in the ass.

One need only look at the unintended consequences devolved from the Roe and Bolton SCOTUS decisions to understand the effects of "penumbra" privacy.

Perhaps you could help me with some of this. Just how would you frame a legal opinion that holds that the Contitution protects abortion as a fundamental right of privacy, or for that matter contraception, which trump proscriptive state laws, but does not protect sex between consentual adults?
