What's next? The legalization of prostitution? Or will it be lower the age of consent and allowing consensual "intergenerational" sex?

Maybe they'll decide we need to punch in at 9am in clownsuits.

But your boogymen are scarier, I'm sure. Oh, the poor children. Let's all get hysterical, Sparky. The more sober among us realize that there is ZERO credible movement to change age of consent laws. But never mind that! Back to your previously scheduled fearmongering. O, for the children!!!

Isn't it possible, though, to have the slippery slope go in the other direction? For example, if the SC held up this essentially "moral" ruling, what would stop states from being able to arrest heterosexuals who have anal sex, or people from looking at Playboy, or masturbating--all on the basis of morality? Would everyone be OK with the government regulating all those behaviors?

It's already legal in several counties in Nevada. So?
