Don't tell me you believe that any right not explicitly listed in the Constitution does not exist?

And if you read ALL of Thomas Jefferson's writings, you'd see he had some bizarre ideas about how to cure homosexuals. Uh, you really want to take him up on those 'treatments'(some would call it torture?)

Dont tell me you think that lame point has any bearing.
you really believe in the amorphous and impossible-to-define 'right to privacy' a right that was not even *mentioned* in any legal decisions until very Liberal Justices pulled it out of a hat in the 1960s??

There are certainly plenty of "non-fundamental-rights" not listed in the Constitution too. Right to beat your kid in the privacy of your own home; right to eat DDT; right to put cats in microwaves; right to marry your sister; right for Brad and Tad to get married together; right to ride a motorcycle without a helmet.

Sodomy is not a fundamental right. Never was, never will be. Justices on BOTH sides of the issue agreed with that point in this case!

Of course not. Do you know what types of unenumerated rights actually do exist?

Unalienable rights.

Doesn't matter, since the relevant point is that he clearly didn't believe that there is an unalienable right to buggery.

On what basis do you believe that there is?
