How many people are going to jump on board and parrot this ridiculous line that there is no right to privacy in the Constitution. News flash, neither the Constitution nor the Bill of Rights was ever intended to be an exhaustive enumeration of a person's rights. Can we all agree on this?
Secondly, following Bowers v. Hardwick, eleven states abolished their anti-sodomy laws. So far we've not seen an alarming rise in the incidence of bestiality and incest in those states. Let's relax, OK?
Does anyone think that any homosexuals out there chose to abstain from their preferred sexual practices due to these laws being in place anyway?
Even proponents of anti-sodomy laws admit ther were rarely if ever enforced. That tells me that they weren't intended to uphold personal morality so much as they were to persecute a disfavored minority.
I've looked out my window the last couple of days. The sun is still rising and setting as usual. Relax.
You are one hundred percent correct. And the Founders even planned for that.
Amendment X
The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the states, are reserved to the states respectively, or to the people.
And SCOTUS finished destroying what was left of that Amendment in 1973 and now here in 2003. The Republic is dead, welcome to the Empire
