I have no problem with having unelected people in black robes legislate as long as they are protecting individual freedom from the state.

It is not their duty to legislate either for our own good or for tyranny. They are not put there to legislate, only the legislative branch has that power.

I am surprised that someone here has no problem with a branch of government taking on the powers of another branch as long as its for our own good. Thats a very liberal philosophy.

I am a strong advocate of individual liberty, almost to the point of libertarianism sometimes. But I am also a strong advocate of division of power and checks and balances. I'm not for "outcome based" government.

But to say that private sexual transactions between consenting adults may be criminalized, is to ignore the 9th Amendment and give it no effect whatsoever.
