Then you have no idea what happened. This was a trampling of the 10th Amendment and the separation of powers. This is a naked power grab by the SCOTUS at the expense of the states and of the people.
The reasoning of the decision is based on the broad, vague, and new-found Constitutional principle of the "expression of essential humanity," and will serve as the fulcrum by which the increasing power of the federal government is leveraged in unimaginable ways in the future.
Yeah, "right of privacy" has you control freaks all in a tizzy.
I fail to grasp the reasoning behind the knee jerk reactions to this decision.
SCOTUS was not telling the states what they should do, rather they were telling them what they cannot do.
Ever since I could walk, conservatives have been trying to keep government out of the bedroom. The state is government and they got into a bedroom.
Leaving the gay issue aside for the sake of argument, what is wrong with affirming the right of privacy regarding the bedroom and taking into account that no illegal substance or other things were involved.
It seems to me that sodomy is still illegal if combined with rape or underage child.
I can see some people attempting to interpret this in other ways, but SCOTUS with clarify this with a second ruling when they do.
I started looking at Carribean real estate again. Sigh.
