You are reduced to claiming that no state can outlaw prostitution!
That is a constitutional fact. No State has ever been given the power to dictate prohibitions on 'sinful behaviors' or on 'evil objects'.
You have such contempt for the 10th Amendment.
No hughie, I have contempt for ALL of those who try to use the 10th to dictate prohibitions on 'sinful behaviors' or on 'evil objects'.

Is that so? - How do you know the legislators think it's sinful or 'evil'? Suppose they don't want to deal with the regulatory mess, so they just outlaw it altogether? Suppose they think it will lower property values, so they outlaw it altogether? You're the one who introduced morality to the subject, when the reasons could have been purely practical - even financial.
You're Clintonizing. You deny that states can outlaw prostitution, then twist the words around, prattling on about states not being given the power to prohibit 'evil' 'sinful' behaviors... When the sad fact (for you) is that VA, NC, and SC have all outlawed prostitution!
