Yep. Now that some prisoners are now being released because of the idiot ruling, such as the guy doing a 15 year sentence for having homosexual sex with a boy of 14, we are just tickled pink. (Pardon the pun.)

If it had been with a girl of 14, the law is quite clear. According to the Supremes, now it is okay for statutory rape agains someone of the same sex? The 6 justices who voted for this should be removed forcibly.

If you're referring to the case I think you are, the perpetrator was 19. If his victim had been female, he would have had a much shorter sentence He deserves to be punished for his actions, but the double standard is wrong.

I think that was the point. The punishment for hetero underage sex was much less.

Two comments on this. The first is -- I find it amusing that the punishment for a guy that apparently likes to give oral sex to men is to be sent to prison. Talk about brother rabbit being tossed into the briar patch! The second things is -- in that state, oral sex on a 14 year old girl by a 17 year old guy would have been a maximum sentence of 3 years. This guy had already served 3 years. That is why he was let out.

"...removed forcibly..."

from each other and little children perhaps, eh?!

Give an investigator 10 minutes on their computers and that SC will be changed forever.
