I believe adultery laws remain on the books in many states. There is also an adultery count under the Uniform Code of Military Justice that I have actually seen applied to increase sentences. I wonder about their constitutionality under Lawrence.

The enforcement of such "adultery" laws remains absent, though. I've read of a few divorce cases which attempted to invoke adultery laws but they've failed to pass judicial muster (they were thrown out). The military code is a different beast entirely. Attempts to make analogies between military and civilian codes are simply not possible.
