I now see why America is not mentioned in the Bible as a player in end time events.

Every day we take a giant step in the same direction as all other nations that have declared war on God. And we will suffer the same fate.

The die is cast; at this point I believe there is no turning back. We have legalized and enshrined every single abomination that has caused God to destroy every other civilization in the history of the world that has done what we have done.

I really think that right now the only hope that any of us have to survive what is coming is to throw ourselves on the mercy of God and ask for His salvation. We as a nation have hurled ourselves into the abyss and our days as a nation are numbered. This did not have to happen. I grieve for the senseless deaths of millions of American patriots who died for this country over the almost three centuries of our existence, men and women who, we now see, died for a doomed nation. And I pray that God withholds judgement for a little while; maybe this latest slap in the face of God will stun enough people out of their slumber and cause them to turn to Him before it's too late.

"And why not extend this same right to privacy to any consensual act, including drug use or commerce, the exchange of pre-existing child pornography, the exchange of firearms, or any private, consensual action? Furthermore, how can the government "regulate" income generated on private property between consenting adults?!"

You don't understand the "culture war," kid sex, gay marriage, abortion, government as nanny = good, guns, capitalism & property rights = bad.

Does this ruling mean that state laws against prostitution can be challenged?

It makes it more likely. How can the state make that conduct in the bedroom between consenting adults illegal?

The commerce clause?

This issue is intertwined with the very fabric of our society.

Its malignant democracy. What they call liberalism today, this overt obsession with equality, where equality is more important than morality. The obsession is so bad that the democratic process itself is circumvented. Its Fascism's Trojan Horse. This is not a good thing.

"Justice Anthony Kennedy wrote for the majority, "Were we to hold the statute invalid under the Equal Protection Clause"

Right decision. Wrong Amendment.

The 9th amendment is where the right to privacy emanates.

"The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, SHALL NOT BE CONSTRUED TO DENY OR DISPARAGE OTHERS (rights) RETAINED BY THE PEOPLE."

See Griswold v Connecticut, Justice Goldberg's dissent.
