Unconstitutional "now" - as opposed to before? What would have changed to make them unconstitutional now?

I give up. There was a decision handed down this week by the Supreme Court that caused a wee bit of a controversy, remember? It's the subject of this thread? Hello?

Yeah, hello. You seemed to be implying that the Constitution has changed, without an amendment changing it. The ruling here didn't try to claim that. If the courts say that laws against sodomy are unconstitutional, then they're saying that they've always been unconstitutional, from the moment the relevant clauses have been part of the Constitution.
