I found it interesting that Thomas felt a need to express his personal opinion of the law.

I guessed that the law would be overturned, but I thought it would be on the grounds that O'Connor found, which is equal protection, since this law singled out homosexual sodomy.

Yeah. It was illegal for anyone to engage in homosexual sodomy.

Of course, you, and the rest of the libs, are confused about the difference between what you are, versus what you do.

This is a buttinski SCOTUS enforcing a liberal social engineering experiment on all the states that have different point of view from, say, California and Massachussets. Why do you support liberal social engineering experiments foisted on the rest of us by unelected life-tenured justices? Have you no respect for federalism, for the 10th Amendment?

Your way would have been much better. As it stands now, gay marriage via the courts is just a matter of time unless we get a Constitutional Marriage Amendment.

I share his dissent completely. The reason that he stated his opinion of the law was to point out that he rules on cases based on the law, not his personal opinion, and that the majority in this case did not and does not. He is not standing up for some personal agenda, he is pointing out that the duty of a Supreme Court justice is to make rulings based on law without regard to personal opinion.

Thomas is the bravest justice. Scalia is the giant brain. They are the last dying voices of what the Supreme Court was intended to be.

Yes. Even if he was not in the majority..the fact that he said that he needed to speak out and say he thought the sodomy laws were silly...makes those on this board who are hysterical about it look pretty silly.

Yes..the fact that these people want to enforce these laws when it comes to homosexuals yet ignore them when it comes to heterosexuals clearly defines them as hypocritical bigots.

Who wants people like this in control of the sex police or ANYBODY in a position of power?

Not most Americans.

O'Connor invented the grounds, she did not find them.

Further, O'Connor and the other old biddy, joined by Mama's boy and the reliable idiot, Kennedy, have acted in flagrant disregard of the 9th Amendment.

Thomas probably doesn't like the speed laws on the Parkway, either. Who cares?
