If the activity is deemed criminal and it is not a guaranteed right, it is due process. Or are you gonna pull some wild excuse out of your butt for why our founders allowed states to prohibit witchcraft, sodomy, ect....

Exactly.

Read Section 1. -- People are not to be deprived of Life, Liberty, or Property without due process.
Fiat declarations that a queer or an addict is a criminal is not due process.

The state has no power to 'deem' an activity criminal on whim. Or through majority rule. Fiat declarations of an actions 'criminality' are not due process. They are prohibitions that violate the constitution on quite a number of legal grounds.

Many states had such laws before the constitution. Most have been repealed, as they are now clearly unconstitutional, dispite the wild excuses of buttheads like you.
