SCOTUS strikes down Texas sodomy ban

SCOTUS sided with the perverts.

[Trace21230]

We're not "simpletons" to believe that the Constitution doesn't prohibit laws on the books for 140 years that say that buggery is illegal.

If you can't see the difference between adult consensual sex and pedophilia/necrophilia/bestiality then yes you are a simpleton.

Don't forget the inherent possibilities of abuse of power and trust as well as the manipulation that goes along with incest - which is why it is deemed a criminal act.

[steveegg]

I would support that. He's never going to ride the sodomy card into the CJ's chair.

Definitely. Outside of the homosexuality cases, he's nowhere near liberal enough for the RATs, and his open support for them kills his chances of being elevated by a Pubbie.

I'm ready. It's time for a Marriage Amendment.

Isn't your marriage a covenant between yourself and your spouse, and potentially your God?

Or are you also married to the state?

[The Red Zone]

I'm ready. It's time for a Marriage Amendment. Is there any doubt it would pass??? Let's get moving on it!

I think some members of this SCOTUS would find the amendment to be unconstitutional.

Criminalize the common cold now!

When you outlaw colds only outlaws will.....nevermind.

[Grando Calrissian]

Thats not neccessarily true. The guy who washes my car is a Libertarian, however, the car hasn't been running all that well, I wonder if he has been sodomizing the exhaust pipe...

See. This is precisely the slippery slope that is caused by this SCOTUS ruling. Soon libertarians will be sodomizing gutters, mail boxes, and even vending machines.

[Chancellor Palpatine]

You're a little sick to be personalizing it that way.

I'd never talk about my daughters like that.

You might reconsider how that makes you look.

The main reason incest is criminalized is because children from incestuous unions are more likely to be deformed, mentally retarded, and generally undesirable.

I beg to differ. The main reason against incest and rather obvious is the detriment to the child being sexually abused or used by the adult parent. I'm not aware of any cultures outside dog cultures that endorse parent/child incest.

[GraniteStateConservative]

The logical conclusion of your line of thinking is that the government can regulate your brother-in-law's diet and exercise regimin, lest he die early and leave your sister a destitute burden on society.

I think communist regimes like China and North Korea do this based on such a reason of "obvious" government interest.

Have you visited public restrooms recently? Have you visited public parks? I've seen them doing it there.

Then criminalize public sexuality.

And quit pretending that criminalizing private homosexuality constitutes the same thing.

[Antoninus]

The main reason incest is criminalized is because children from incestuous unions are more likely to be deformed, mentally retarded, and generally undesirable.

So using this logic, I guess a father can screw his 16 year old son, then? If not, on what grounds would you oppose such acts?

So, If I put my 17 year old daughter on the pill we can then have sex.

No, for several obvious reasons.

1. The pill is not a failsafe birth control measure.

2. The emotional damage inflicted on a child makes the child of the parent incapable of consent, even if they are otherwise competent.

3. The family is a traditional American institution where the boundaries of authority (i.e. father/daughter, mother/son) must be respected in order to stregthen and preserve the family unit. Sex with relatives destroys that.

There is a better case for de-criminalizing "incest" with first cousins, but I'm not prepared to go there yet.

This decision should cut both ways. What people do in the privacy of their bedroom shouldn't entitle them to preferential treatment.

"OK, so Texas fix the anal intercourse ban so it applies to all genders. Problem solved."

And I live right next door to two who are as discreet as anybody can be. Not only do they shut their blinds, but when friends came over and started to hold hands in the back yard, they stopped them because they didn't think it would be appropriate for our kids to see. It's the hetero couple four doors down that we have a problem with exhibiting themselves.

You never know.

Ain't that the truth. Does the AKC recognize them when they're bred that close?

Homos have FIVES TIMES more partners. They also are three times more likely to have sex with animals than heteros.
