SCOTUS strikes down Texas sodomy ban

SCOTUS sided with the perverts.

[Dead Corpse]

That isn't evil. If she's that far gone, she'll never notice.

Real Libertarians cause potholes and delays in highway construction projects. We've also been tied to runs in nylons.

[gdani]

Should the people of Texas have the right to legalize marijuana?

Or, better yet, outlaw alcohol.

[MineralMan]

Ooops! Sorry. Yet another marvel of the internet.

[jmc813]

Now if we could only talk him into doing a parody of Dane on a thread about the "pro-drug counter-culture 60's".

;-)

The Christian Socialists don't like to talk about the pesky facts of heterosexual sodomy.

That’s because it’s different. Sex is not sodomy, sex is the possibility of procreation and all though sodomy between heterosexuals may not be procreation, sexual acts what ever they may be between heterosexuals can and does lead to procreation. For the same reasons we codify marriage as compelling state’s interest to preserve the traditional family unit, there is no reason to regulate such behavior for heterosexuals.

If you are going extend heterosexual rights to other forms of behavior then it open the doors to more than homosexuality, bestiality (personal property), consensual pedophilia and consensual incest have no better standing than homosexual acts and are equally justifiable.

Recompose your question, in some sort of context . It makes little sense [it sucks] as written.

In addition, the marriage bed is holy. And only men and women can be married. Of course, SCOTUS will throw out that limitation, too, in about 5-10 years.

"That’s because it’s different. Sex is not sodomy"

Read the laws, dude. Sodomy is a matter of legal definition, and several states make no distinction between oral sex between a husband and wife and a couple of guys (or ladies for that matter.)

We're talking legal issues here, not dictionaries.

[tdadams]

You sound like Brer rabbit, "Please don't throw me in that bush."

Geesh if you hate San Francisco so much, get out. What are you, on probation or something and can't leave the city?

Besides that, I think you're exaggerating just a bit, trying to hoodwink those on here who aren't familiar with San Francisco. Tell me, on what street corner is this billboard depicting gay sex?

[MineralMan]

"Tell me, on what street corner is this billboard depicting gay sex?"

There isn't one. It's something like a couple of guys holding hands or something similar. Nobody's having sex on billboards in San Francisco.

[gdani]

Sex is not sodomy, sex is the possibility of procreation....

For someone who hates Clinton, that's a pretty twisted definition of "sex"

[El Gato]

Privacy is not an absolute right - and it certainly is not present in the constitution.

Well, it sort of is, in the 4th amendment right to be secure in one's person and house. It's certainly not absolute even there, But is only against unreasonable searces and seizures. The amendment provides for warrents based upon probable cause.

In the case at hand, there was no warrant. But one was probably not required, because there was probable cause to believe a crime was in progress...not the crime of sodomy though, but something like assault. Sort of like getting busted for possession of a controlled substance after being pulled over for a burned out license plate light.

[Dead Corpse]

BTW since beastiality is a sexual orientatio, how long do you it will be before we have a case about it.

Animals, due to lack of sentience, cannot give consent to such an act.

[fooman]

You are holding up pretty well here IMO, as well as others I imagine.

I am perplexed that people do not see the slide to nihilism with this decision. Its sad, really.

[fooman]

happened to me too.

[MineralMan]

"I am perplexed that people do not see the slide to nihilism with this decision"

Ah, that slippery slope. This time to nihilism, eh?

Slip-slidin' away.....

[Dead Corpse]

Bye kids... gonna pop out and have some dinner with the wife.

Peace...

Clint N. Suhks:
"it's taken power from the state"


And therein lies the problem.
1,220 -CC-


Nope, no problem.. The states have never had the power to prohibit such activities, under our constitution.

Took a long time to establish this principle, but here we are.

[MineralMan]

"Bye kids... gonna pop out and have some dinner with the wife.

"

I'm outa here, myself. Time to call it a day at the old job, go home, cook up a nice filet of beef, have some Irish whiskey and contemplate infinity.

But...I'm sure another endless thread will appear tomorrow on this or another topic. Entertainment for one and all.

Sodomy is a matter of legal definition, and several states make no distinction between oral sex between a husband and wife and a couple of guys (or ladies for that matter.)

It's called Deviate Sexual Intercourse in the legislatures that define it dude.
