I think the sodomy laws is a blanket law, but these laws are selectively enforced by nature. I think the States should have the right to have such laws, but I do not think States should have such laws.

But I agree with Santorum, the right to have such laws should be recognized.

Please remember, states have no rights, only individuals do. By virtue of having rights, individuals enjoy the power to protect their rights. States (governments) have powers ceded by individuals whose purpose is to protect rights. So, if you believe a state should have the power to make such laws, you should connect it to the right that is being protected.
