"Fundamental" rights are the pruview of the SCOTUS Luis. The majority opinion states clearly that sodomy is not a "fundamental" right. Hence the power to legislate is the states or more correctly the people's.
Certainly not the SCOTUS and their new take on transcendental liberty blah blah blha.

The State did not legislate sodomy, it legislated same-sex sodomy. Had the State legislated sodomy, this case would have never reached the Courts.

Why was it that some people in Texas could engage in sodomy without fear of the law, and others not?
