While I wish this case would just go away, I think the issue is about state rights. Sodomy is not a constitutional right. If it is, what about other issues like sex in groups, among relatives, or sex for hire, if such situations are consensual. For that matter, what about age restrictions.

I think it is the wrong path to take to say the constitution protects any and all immorality.

If these things are truly kept "in the bedroom" then who is going to know? This is about endorsing it, embracing it, accepting it, and flaunting it. There is nothing "private" in that.

That said, if the gay crusade would stop there and leave kids out of the issue I could live with it. But as soon as sodomy becomes a constitutional right so will gay marriage, gay adoption, etc....and reading from or teaching the Bible will be a hate crime.

I have seen libertarians on this very forum call for an end to age restrictions. I can guarentee that if the court votes pro-sodomite, the things you stated will be next.

When you lose morality, the only place to go is further to the bottom. You will have groups claiming the right to marry relatives, have sex in groups in public, walk nude down the street, prostitution, and have sex with kids.

You have have NAMBLA types in the schools, you will have immorality run rapid.

Thomas Jefferson said: "Indeed I tremble for my country when I reflect that God is just, that His justice cannot sleep forever."

I go a step further than Jefferson. I am to the point where I say: "I rejoice when I reflect that God is just, and that His Justice cannot sleep forever."

"The LORD will judge His people." It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.

I agree that it is a state's issue. I have never denied that states can constitutionally pass, stupid laws.

Looks like it's just you and me, RAT. Everyone else wants to either bring God or Richard Simmons into battle on this one.

Sex for hire is another of those "consenting adults" issues that people just don't want to take up.
