But here is another thing we should consider:

The opinion states that it does not apply to sex with minors. But now the question the court didn't clarify is what constitutes a minor, and what constitutes consent? These areas have always been reserved to the states, but now that the federal courts decided to ignore the 10th amendment, the age of consent (and what constitutes consent) will become a federal court mandate, not a state legislature's. I am not at all comfortable with that.

Again, I do not believe the state legislatures should govern what happens between consenting adults in private quarters, but I also do not believe the federal courts have the power to regulate on this issue, because the 10th amendment grants this power to the states and the people themselves.

The BOR's still apply to ALL levels of government. - Always have.


Nothing has changed but some control freak laws against sodomy.
