Entirely expected. Did Breyer issue the Opinion of the Court??

It was Kennedy, joined by Breyer, Souter, Stevens and Ginsburg. O'Connor issued a separate concurring opinion.

Since you are basically promising a foolish blither in response, I make no presumption that you will take a bit of heed to what I say. But rights are the things that our Creator has chosen to vouchsafe to us that we may claim. No more, no less. That's the attitude that the Declaration of Independence took.

Now you go ahead and blither out what you think rights are. Oh, and go to the mirror and visit your fan club whilst doing so.

I don't care if you call me names. I was just pointing out the fact that you didn't address me when you did it. It's about formalities, moron.

I won’t because the 2nd amendment protects my right to bear arms.

But then the second amendment must supercede “democracy” huh? That was my point all along, simpleton.

I would love for you to show me where in the constitution it says the SC can dictate what is moral. What is that, Article 8? Idiota.

It doesn’t state that anywhere. This ruling didn’t make any statements regarding the “morality” of any sexual behavior. It basically stated that it is not the government’s business to legislate such behavior between consenting adults. Twit.

C'mon hotshot.

You talk a big game until someone asks you to actually think.

What are rights?

What are their extent?

What are their limitations?

Define them.

If he or she is a Libertaarian, it is implied.

Forgive if this is already posted in the 450 or so posts that follow yours, but in a rare veto override a year or two ago, the Hawaii legislature changed the age of consent to 16 (provided the perp is at least 5 years older). So a 19yo can still get it on with a 15yo without consequences to the 19yo but a 21yo can't.

Unless, of course, they damage the scuba gear.

This is a right to equal protection under law and to be secure in their persons and houses.

There you go with those "fact" things again. Everyone knows this is a thread to bash Libertarians and to try and paint anyone who approves of this decision as a rapist and a child molestor.

> We also cause plaque build-up on your teeth.

I always wondered who caused that. Now I know -- Libertarians.

ROTFLMAO To cure this condition, chew on a Lieberal.

rights are the things that our Creator has chosen to vouchsafe to us that we may claim. No more, no less

But WHICH things?

Which things did he vouchsafe?

What are they?

How do we know?

Surely the creator was not such a profound practical jokester as to vouchsafe this thing called rights for us, and then fail to tell us specifically what they are... was he?

What are those rights? Where did the creator define them for us?

Be specific please.
