How many homo acts did the law stop?

None?

Well, what's the problem in getting rid of an ineffective, virtually unenforcable law?

The government shouldn't be policing what CONSENTING ADULTS do in their own homes. It's called Freedom.

And, of course, I now must go on the record as being straight and abhoring homo behavior for the abomination it is.

But guess what? Even God Almighty gave man free will to choose life or death. God doesn't stop them, who and why should the government?

I basically agree....IF...IF....they will keep their sex lives PRIVATE from the rest of us.

How many homo acts did early American colonial laws against such behavior stop? I don't know, but the notion that Tony Kennedy and four other Federal judges can dictate suddenly after over 200 years that such laws are unconstitutional is the real irony of the celebration of this decision as a victory of "Freedom" and a blow against "Big Government". The Constitution has longed ceased to have any meaning to those who wish to be enslaved by a triumvirate of five federal judges.

Cordially,

Wow...sophistry.

See Justice Thomas' dissent. He nailed this question in a short paragraph.

The Problem is that the Court is not suppose to decide the effectiveness of a law but the constitutionality. If you don't like a law then change the law at the state house.

Interesting that you define freedom as as handful of un-elected judges overturning the laws passed by the elected representatives of the people.

I may get killed here, but I have never believed you can legislate sexual morality. I think the court was right. Most states don't have sodomy laws.

Abortion is interesting. I have long held in order to change abortion laws, you have to change the hearts and minds of women. This is happening. New polls show a clear majority of women are against abortion. I think it is quite possible that Roe vs. Wade will be overturned. This will not outlaw abortion (contrary to what libs say). It will merely send the issue to the states where people will be able to have a say in whether abortion is legal or not.
