Do you really believe that the LAW prevents people from having sex? You can't possibly be so obtuse as to think that's what the issue is here. The ramification of the SCOTUS decision isn't about legality. It's about the ultimate level of government endorsing and normalizing a deviant and degenerate lifestyle.

I agree that due process must be upheld, but THERE WAS DUE PROCESS in this case. The judges are supposed to make sure the arrest and conviction PROCEDURES are the same for all groups, NOT decide which groups activities should be legal or illegal.
For example, if the law said that homosexuals could not testify in court, or that it was ok for vigilantes to beat them up, then that law should be thrown out. They would not be getting due process. WHAT SHOULD NOT be thrown out, is laws against specific behaviors. It is up to each state to decide what should be legal or illegal. Don't give me that hokem about legislating morality. ALL LAWS ARE LEGISLATED MORALITY- that is a primary function of law.
