Your two statements seem to clash with one another.

Prohibitory state laws against behaviors or property can not be termed to be 'due process'. - They are simply the arbitrary rules of a majority. 236 -tpaine-

Which is EXACTLY what the Age of Consent laws do(it's a law against a behavior) vs Nope. - Properly written, such laws would protect immature individuals from sexual predators, imo. We can protect our young without infringing on our own liberties, pap.

I don't see how you can endorse laws against behaviors while swearing they are an invasion of privacy. It would seem to me that state laws are enacted to limit "bad" behaviors that affect society, like sodomy in public parks and restrooms.

Good grief.. After thousands of posts in the last several days you still don't get the point...
The courts issue was prohibiting PRIVATE consensual behaviors in the privacy of the home. Sheeesh.
