So that's you're answer? If the Constitution can be subject to one thing, why not another? And that equates to Breyer making the statement attributed to him in the headline?

Do I agree that the Court mentioned cultural norms? Yes. Do I agree that they relied on them as THE basis for the decision? No.

(Pulling on Nomex hood and suit) Do I see a right to sodomy in the Constitution? Not exactly. But I do see an inherent right to be left the hell alone by the government. And anyone who wants the state to outlaw homosexual sex better be prepared to have the state outlaw getting oral pleasure from your wife, because the historical basis for the two is exactly the same. In fact, most legal definitions of "sodomy" include both. And, as far as the 9th Amendment is concerned, I am hard-pressed to come up with a more inherent right, which would be retained by the people, than the right to choose which place you stick it in - as long as the owner of that place is willing.

Not exactly? The answer is clearly NO. I also do not see a right to privacy - can you show me that one? Can you show me where that right to privacy trumps the RIGHT TO LIFE (don't they have that backwards)? No, but the reprobate SCOTUS says it does! And your statement about a right to be "left alone by the government" is richly ironic considering it is the govt that has intruded on my Free Exercise rights for the last 50 years!
