Yesterday, in Limon, the Supreme Court vacated the sentence of someone who had homosexually molested a 14-year-old boy, on the basis of Lawrence.

Not exactly true. The court reduced the sentence since the penalty for homosexual sex with a minor was stricter than heterosexual sex with a minor. The ACLU was arguing that the penalty for both actions must be the same.

So you agree that yesterday, the day after the Supreme Court disclaimed any such intention, Lawrence altered the legal outcome of a case involving sex with minors?

Another erroneous doctrine upheld. these are 2 distinct actions, why should sentence be the same? ... what foolishness. The sentencing for shoplifting, theft and fraud must also be same?
