...[it was the Fourteenth Amendment as applied to] the federal courts that granted them power to rule on issues involving sexuality....

I gather that means you don't have a single problem with the idea of the federal government "inserting itself" (so to speak) into this most intimate sphere of human life.... If they can "go there," honey, they can "go anywhere." Capice?

What does that do to human liberty, human dignity?

The Feds are not INSERTING themselves, it was TEXAS that decided to do that, along with a bunch of other states.

How is saying that there must be an ABSENCE of law regarding these activities an insertion by the Feds, when the states were the ones imposing these laws on a generally unwilling public?

[Skywalk]

The state already went there "honey."

And if a law violating the 2nd or 1st Amendment or 4th were struck down by the Supreme Court, would you then say that the Feds were inserting themselves into that area of life? HUH?

It makes no logical sense, "honey."

You are 'gathering' wrong, betty. ~Capice?~

[Straw man tactics really are beneath your abilities. Whats with your use of them on this subject?.]

And by all means, you tell me:
"What does that do to human liberty, human dignity?"
