Deeper into the cesspool we slide.

Indeed. Mark my words: This decision will be used by NAMBLA and other child molestors and child pornographers to challenge bans on sexual abuse of children.

I guess Rhenquist, Thomas, and Scalia were the only ones dissenting.

The real judges.

The U.S. Supreme Court rejected Texas' gay sex ban Thursday, deciding that states cannot punish gay couples for engaging in sex acts that are legal for heterosexuals.

From what I've read thus far on this thread, this is not the basis that the SC used to strike down the law. Wasn't it a right to privacy and not equal protection?

Good decision. And let's not forget that the appeal of the sodomy conviction was supported by the Cato Institute, American Enterprise Institute, and the Republican Unity Coalition. Government needs to stay the hell out of the bedroom.

if you can’t control that act how can you control all of the other acts,

Stop and think about what you wrote. You want the Reno justice department deciding what you should or should not be doing with your spouse? Any government intrusion in people's private lives is unsupportable.

the gov't should not regulate morality....

I agree. Let's immediately strike down laws on rape, child molestation, murder, fraud, perjury, tax evasion, treason, assault, battery, etc. etc. ad nauseum. All laws are regulations of morality.

This law concerns adult behavior.

Age specific laws were not overturned, nor will they be.

I have heard of an American man who served in the military, was heterosexual and married, who was charged under the UCMJ for sodomy with his wife. Then again, I don't think he counter sued the US Navy.

Unfortunately the consequences of the acts don't stop at the bedroom door. They leave the bedroom with the participants.

"It may have set the stage for an amendment to the constitution."

An amendment to do what?

" This ruling only says that it is none of government's business what grownups do.

I will wait for the section of this that says this applies to "Grown-ups" only. Let me know when you find it.

Kevin, you astound me. You're telling the truth this morning ! But not the whole truth

No, it's the whole truth. Libertarians are cheering the usurpation of the legislative powers reserved to the states by an all-powerful federal governmental body. The federal leviathan has spoken through SCOTUS and the libertarians are applauding.

And they are cheering the gagging and suffocation of America on the excrement of libertinism--which is the libertarians' true agenda.

I believe it's a States' Rights issue and the Supreme Court should butt out.

Yeah. None of the state's business when they get together in gay bath-houses and engage in unprotected sex and then get the AIDS virus and then go on public assistance and use their insurance coverage to pay for the cost--which you pay for too. Yeah, public health and public morality are none of the state's business.

An equal protection clause ruling would at least have been less flawed.

Fox News is saying the rational is that you can't punish one group for performing an act that is legal for another group to perform.

The U.S. Supreme Court rejected Texas' gay sex ban Thursday, deciding that states cannot punish gay couples for engaging in sex acts that are legal for heterosexuals.

Hmm....

...if someone engaging in sex with a animal when the police come in they will have no right to arrest them.

I wasn't aware the police encountered that situation with any great frequency.
