I don't think I can be blamed for not recognizing that "life, liberty, or property, without due process of law" was an attempt to answer my question:
"Care to give me a list of everything that Amendment 14, Sec. 1 forbids states to outlaw, and everything it doesn't?"

--- The 14th lists deprivations of "life, liberty, or property, without due process of law", as a type of law "No state shall make or enforce".

Number one, it doesn't actually answer the question. Number two, even gramatically, it makes no sense as an answer to the question.

As you see above, --it makes perfect sense, -- if you have a bit of common sense. -- And can read the 14th.

Number three, no one has suggested that people arrested under an anti-sodomy law are not entitled to due process. People arrested under anti-murder laws are also entitled to due process. Does that make anti-murder laws unconstitutional? And now this discussion has gotten annoyingly silly, and so I will be saying goodbye, then, sir. Goodbye, then, sir.

Yep, its been made silly, -- by you. -- Thanks for scurrying away.

OK, one more time.

No one is talking about depriving anyone of life, liberty, or property without due process of law. People accused of violating anti-sodomy laws receive due process, just the same as anyone accused of violating any other law.

If you're talking about the idiotic and tyrannical notion of "substantive due process," then I give up.
