"I think there are many Freepers who are tired of this constant bashing of the Supreme Court for Lawrence v. Texas. I think they did a great job and stuck a knife in the heart of big government. The only limits placed on the right to privacy by the Bill of Rights refers to the infringement of that right. Specifically it refers to qualification for search and seisure. Their is no prohibition to create laws regarding acts that are kept private.

Also the State of TX gave valid reason for their law and backed it up with precident. The SCOTUS said they did not and also tossed much of it simply, because it demeaned homos.

This is not a victory for Freedom, because Freedom requires that the truth reign. This is a victory for BS artists and the rule of arbitrary tyrants. It's not Freedom they supported, it's socialism.

"I say, good job, to a consistent, conservative SC! You did exactly what you're supposed to be doing."

Look at it this way. If you are right, then I can hire a killer in the privacy of my own home and be free of any legal sanction, because it's a private matter and any law against hiring killers would demean my character.

BYW, the individual liberty you're concerned with, does it involve something for your head?

Imagine if the holding were extended this way. Then Dave Barry could write a humorous column saying, "I'm sure that if the Supreme Court makes it okay to murder someone in the privacy of the home, a vast army of Americans will start killing people will-nilly in the home."

And the once-levelheaded sinkspur could marvel and guffaw over the truly inspired wisdom of that foppish nabob of nyuk, Dave Barry.
