From here, a short walk to legalized polygamy and bestiality. Lawrence v. Texas (2003) did inestimable damage to the Social Order. Justice Kennedy, IIRC, stated something to the effect that "Liberty" demanded that people be left alone in their bedrooms in smacking down the Texas Sodomy Statute. The notion of "Substantive Due Process" - long viewed in the Supreme Court with disfavor, emerged triumphant.

Of course, he totally ignored the U.S. Constitution, particularly the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment, which could have formed a rational basis for the decision, since the Texas statute did not outlaw sodomy between male and female, but only between people of the same sex. On the same day, a decision came down on an affirmative action case that, IMO, effectively rendered the Equal Protection Clause nugatory. Read Scalia's dissent in the Lawrence case - it is chillingly prescient.



America demands Justice for the Fallen of Benghazi!

O stranger, tell the Lacedaemonians that we lie here, obedient to their command.

Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)

I don’t think they want polygamy ... too “favorable” to rich men, not “fair” enough for the wives and way too many babies and large families.
