It's hard not to notice that all kinds of sexual deviancy, and the effects thereof, took off in the 1960s.

Chicken or egg?

Which came first, the state courts and state legislatures jettisoning sodomy laws, or the debauch “sex, drugs, and rock’n roll” of the 1960s and 1970s?

Valid question. It is a chicken and egg question. You could make a strong argument that WWII was the culprit. Morals, from what I understand, tend to decay after major wars. Having said that, the case for enforcement of the public morality is still valid whether or not people want the public morality enforced. If they do not want it enforced, however, it won't be. The people themselves are the enforcement mechanism

Off the thread. Just downloaded Scalia's dissent. I'll read that before the majority opinion. Best to save the worst for last.
