Of course, you are 98% ignorant of what I'm referring to. Go back to your TV and vegetate. Everything is just fine.
I'm of the belief that these laws are lame. The State has no business in the bedrooms of consenting adults. Most of the jurisdictions do not enforce them for this reason and they have been repealed willy-nilly.
But my dislike for these laws does not blind me to what the Supreme Court has done and what it portends for the future. This is another manufactured out of thin air ruling. Scalia's scathing attack on it is right on the money. People are pretending that there is no such thing as precedent and that lower court judges will apply this ruling to everything under the sun. We rage about the 9th circuit court but can you imagine what that court will use this ruling to justify in the future?
You are right, if the number is 99% then I'm with you as part of the 1%

I'm of the belief that these laws are lame. Or, in the words of the court, "uncommonly silly."
