Do you envision this clause to make all state laws at variance with utopians' vision null and void so that the federal government can provide uniform laws without those pesky states' governments?

In 1789, the several states had sodomy laws on the books, remaining in force after ratification. Law is an expression of social norms, proscribing some behaviors. The 10th's reservation of states' rights provide states with lawful authority. For good or bad. And that was before the AIDs danger of homos endangering others through their behavior. Physiology made more difference than Texas law. (I don't believe that Texas should have made such behavior illegal for anyone wishing to engage in it. Physical damage and death is the critical risk of such anal behavior.)

Some human behavior is undesirable if not damaging to the wellbeing of the citizens of this nation. Make a list.

I may rather fancy polygamy now that consenting privacy is so cool and there are so many "abandoned", young women needing a safe, loving, PRIVATE family home.

What is "...equal protection..."?

This SCOTUS sodomy ruling interpreted for what it does for prostate pals, extended, voids state laws differentiating human behavior. Why is agism legal? State laws controlling behavior of different people have no validity before this SCOTUS, except when the SCOTUS says so.

Why are minors and elders treated differently before the law? Why are sex workers so lawfully under threat? But a few of the round edges to clear lines...

What IS the difference between people having intimate contact and bearing arms? Both are privacy based God-given rights. I see none after this ruling. Homos packing can pack heat. However, "compelling State interests" are capricious.

We face outlaw blackrobes, congressmen, and presidents. They think that are changing for central government's convenience this "living" Constitution by rule. Our Constitution is not changed, but their lawful "authority" remains only because of overwhelming police powers of government. "Compelling State interest" is the chant of unconstitutional tyranny.

THE 2nd Amendment SCOTUS interpretation will unraval our government's lawful authority. Either SCOTUS rules that our 2nd means what it says within the context of our 9th, 10th, and 14th or it commits federal suicide by destroying its own position before our Law of the Land.
