The point is, there will likely be a rush on the courts, often at taxpayer expense I might add, to revisit or even overturn other convictions involving homosexual assaults. [post 97]

I would think not, given that the Lawerence case involved making consensual same-sex activity illegal. Sexual assaults are still criminal, no matter what the gender combinations are.

Semantics. In the Kansas case, the fact that one of the boys was 14 makes it sexual assault whether it was "consensual" or not. It involved one adult and one child, technically, and yet it is being reconsidered based on the the Supreme Court ruling.
