Interpreted this way, Lawrence is a prescription for judicial dictatorship. There are no limits remaining and all tether to the reality of the constitution has been severed.

Any act that 5 old guys or girls think is cool is now constitutionally protected.

>> "Interpreted this way, Lawrence is a prescription for judicial dictatorship."

I don't see how you can reach that conclusion. The Lawrence ruling is about a specific Texas law.

It is interesting to view judicial rulings through the prism of protecting individual liberty from government interference. This is obviously a very libertarian (small l) point of view.

The difficulty in this approach is determining when an action does NOT hurt others, and is thus a protected liberty, and when it DOES hurt others and is thus a proscribed "license".
