The good news is that the Supreme Court decision getting government out of the American bedroom is right in line with rejection of government control and management of people's lives.

It establishes the federal government's right to say what is allowed, which it has no power to do. It reenforces the intrusion of big brother rather than eliminate it. It just says that it must be the biggest brother rather than the next biggest. The tenth amendment says that the rights not enumerated are left to the states or the people. These rights were not enumerated so they are left to the states or the people whether they use them well or not.

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.
