The problem many of us our having is that to get the result you wanted (remove sodomy from the books) you have gutted the ability of states to pass any laws that restrict sexual habits. Privacy will trump everything else.

Laws that restrict sexual habits that violate rights, like laws preventing adults from having sex with kids, or rape, will be perfectly legitimate.

There are many rights that trump the right to privacy.

Indeed they will. It is a straw man to suggest that this narrow decision affects anything but sodomy laws where such activity takes place in private.

The sky, despite all reports from the religious right, is not falling.

how so if they are done in the privacy of our own homes ?

Please explain why my 16 year old daughter and I cannot have sex.
