The Tenth Amendment is a dead letter. Let me know
when DOJ stops overruling state law and busting whore houses
in New Orleans. Then we can talk tenth amendment.

In the meantime, realize that among the components of sodomy
is heterosexual oral sex. Laws preventing this were rendered inoperative alongside the rest. We are freer today than before the court ruled. Any one wanting this to go the other way has
a morbid fascination with the sex lives of others that needs
scrubbing out.

Good point. I cannot, however, remember the last time I was pulled over for being a cunning linguist.

Just like Scalia and Thomas, I am not arguing the merit of the sodomy laws, nor any other law that concerns bedroom activity including adultery (no exemption for incest or underage, though), I am simply saying that if the 10th amendment is a dead letter, as you say, this is one more nail in the coffin. We need not acquiesce to it.

You are wrong. We are told sodomy is okay now but assured that incest, bestiality, polygamy and pedarasty are still verboten. What happened last week is that the SCOTUS has STARTED delineating what can happen in your bedroom. That is a loss any way you look at it.

sod·om·y [ sódmee ]

noun

1. an offensive term for anal intercourse

2. an offensive term for sexual intercourse with an animal

So, change the laws to be specific as to what SODOMY means, per the dictionary. ANAL intercourse is down right unhealthy, whether hetero or homo sexually done. Don't even ask about the second definition as far as being unhealthy.

So, let's put NEW Sodomy laws on the books according to the dictionary definition, for health reasons alone.
