No sooner than it was handed down, homosexual sex offenders are released from prison,
Again, no sex offender has been released from prison due to the decision.
If some end up getting released because they were sentenced to lengthy sentences based soley upon the fact that the act was committed upon a person of the same sex, then that's what happens. Its an equal protection question.
The SCOTUS has clearly put homosexual acts as equal under the law to heterosexual acts, to include experimentation among children/adolescents. The fact that a convicted homosexual sex offender must now be sentenced the same as a heterosexual sex offender, especially in a case where adolescent sex blurs the line between adult/minor and consent only provides clarity to the decision.
Right?
Except that the Supreme Court instructed the Kansas court to reconsider in light of Lawrence, and the majority in Lawrence expressly declined to decide the equal protection issue.
