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

[CholeraJoe]

SCOTUS sided with the perverts.

SCOTUS supports right to Privacy.

[VRWC_minion]

Did they back into the opinion ?

[sinkspur]

Invoked the right to privacy under the 14th amendment.

There are no reservations, so Steve Cintani on FOXNEWS speculates that all sodomy laws in the 13 states that have them will also be overturned.

[Catspaw]

What was the vote?

[vin-one]

did they issue an oral statement.......

[poet]

One more indication of America's slow agonizing death.

[AntiGuv]

Wait, are you sure?? The only ruling which appears to have been handed down so far was the statute of limitations [child sexual abuse] ruling; or is AP behind the curve?

[MJY1288]

I wonder how long beofre this SCOTUS decision is blamed on GWB?

[B Knotts]

Good thing we've got all those Republicans on the court.</sarcasm>

[foreverfree]

bump

[HumanaeVitae]

Unsurprising. Let's see what kind of tortured logic the majority employed here.

[finnman69]

good decision.

[Lancey Howard]

SCOTUS sided with the perverts.

No surprise. They support race quotas and group preferences based on skin color, too.
Well, five scumbags on the court do, anyway.

[bullseye1911]

SCOTUS sided with the perverts.

Well, at least they'll have friends up the A$$ now!

Deeper into the cesspool we slide.

Breaking on AP:

Supreme Court Strikes Down Gay Sex Ban

WASHINGTON (AP) -- The Supreme Court struck down a ban on gay sex Thursday, ruling that the law was an unconstitutional violation of privacy.

The 6-3 ruling reverses course from a ruling 17 years ago that states could punish homosexuals for what such laws historically called deviant sex.

[B Knotts]

WASHINGTON - The U.S. Supreme Court rejected Texas' gay sex ban Thursday, deciding that states cannot punish gay couples for engaging in sex acts that are legal for heterosexuals.

The top court's decision overturned a Texas Supreme Court ruling in a case brought by two men who were caught engaging in an illegal sex act.

The 6-3 ruling reverses course from a ruling 17 years ago that states could punish homosexuals for what such laws historically called deviant sex.

The case is a major reexamination of the rights and acceptance of gay people in the United States. More broadly, it also tests a state's ability to classify as a crime what goes on behind the closed bedroom doors of consenting adults.

Thursday's ruling invalidated a Texas law against "deviate sexual intercourse with another individual of the same sex."

Defending that law, Texas officials said that it promoted the institutions of marriage and family, and argued that communities have the right to choose their own standards.

The law "demeans the lives of homosexual persons," Justice Anthony M. Kennedy wrote for the majority.

I never cease to be stunned by Freepers who want big government in people's bedrooms.
