Now this is getting weird. You're the libertarian and you think the state has the right to violate my Constitutional liberties to say what I can and cannot do in the privacy of my own home with another consenting adult?

It is weird having to argue for this side, but from a libertarian states-rights standpoint, Lawrence was a terrible decision.

the State's Rights vs Privacy arguement is weird. I, personally, don't think that Texas should be able to make a law against sodomy for consenting adults. It's a weird issue.

Why am I not surprised that paul can't hold true even to his own values. He would kick the feds out of my bedroom but believes state stormer troopers have the right to sit in my bedroom and violate my Constitutional rights.

The voters in Texas are wising up to the hand full of state politicians in exile trying to hijack the state government, hopefully the voters in his district will wise up to mister morality here.

I guess that would also include the states' rights to ban smoking mj in the privacy of one's home?

Historically, there has been no practical relationship whatsoever between the concepts of "liberty" and "states rights", notwithstanding the claims of certain white trash politicians and pundits who somehow saw the systematic deprivation of voting and political rights to blacks as the highest expression of the freedom of whites.
