Seems to me that if it's constitutional to regulate smoking, motorcycle helmets, and seat belts because of public health costs, the same logic will apply here.

Illogic. And as unconstitutional as the others.

Either way, somethings gotta give.

Seems to me the easiest solution if you don't like the law is don't live in Texas. If you live in Texas and don't want to leave, ask your state rep to introduce a bill to repeal the law. Since the constitution is silent, and therefore relinquishes this matter to the state OR the people, why does SCOTUS even get a word in?

I think it would be great if we had a less intrusive SCOTUS which would allow us to move to states that attracted more people we like to be around.

If you are against sodomy laws, Mr. Jefferson, you may want to check up on your namesake's opinion of them.

You may be surprised.
