Yep, and he was clearly talking about a law banning homosexual sodomy - the Texas law before the SCOTUS. To try to claim that the comments were not about that subject is so entirely disingenuous as to be unworthy of debate. Whether Rush said it or not.

Overturning the law banning homosexual sex may have been the topic, but his comments/intent are still misstated. If SCOTUS uses wording like "consensual" rather than specifying some limitations, the ramifications will be a lot greater than just decriminalizing homosexual sex. Granted, as a practicing Catholic, Santorum disagrees with homosexuality, but his greater concern is an opening of the floodgates about what is protected.

We know what he was talking about. But it is a huge breach of journalistic ethics to misquote a person.
