What I DID say, or at least the point I was trying to make, is that this legislation will be used as leverage to revisit cases in which inmates are already serving time for the commission of homosexual assaults.

If they are serving more time than persons convicted of "heterosexual assaults", then what's the problem?

The fact that this particular case came up IMMEDIATELY following the ruling strongly suggests that a trend will follow, if history is any indicator of how these things go

Uh, it didn't immediately come up. The SCOTUS was ALREADY lookig at it. Good grief. Do you think a case is appealed to and accepted by the SCOTUS overnight?

" Do you think a case is appealed to and accepted by the SCOTUS overnight?"

But the ACTION on it did come virtually overnight.

"No sooner than it was handed down, homosexual sex offenders are released from prison"

Okay, so far there is only one. I was using hyperbole, which you obviously failed to recognize, but I do not believe I am that far off the mark.

Obviously, the Supreme Court had been aware of the Limon case for months (and was aware of it when it wrote the assurance in Lawrence about the case not being about sex with minors.)
