Upholding laws that existed from the start of the country should have been a no-brainer. Like the laws or not, they were supported by the Founders and the original 13 states. To claim they are unconstitutional is absurd.

Trouble is, though, that similar arguments can be made about abortion laws. Once Roe v. Wade was decided, there was no intellectually coherent way to uphold sodomy laws.

Yeah. It was a real bummer when slavery was done away with.
