Maybe watching people get arrested for consensual crimes arouses your fascist impulses, but some of us believe such laws to be ridiculous and against the very spirit of liberty.

Maybe you didn't read your words. "Consensual crimes" implies crime. Some people should be arrested for crime. Or Do you think that crime shouldn't be punished?

"Maybe watching people get arrested for consensual crimes arouses your fascist impulses, but some of us believe such laws to be ridiculous and against the very spirit of liberty."Amazing how sodomy laws, on the books for some 250 years, are suddenly so restrictive.
May we extrapolate from your belief, and in the "spirit of liberty," that the Founding Fathers had it all wrong?? Or JUST the parts where consenual buggery, "under-age" sex, and bestiality are unfairly deemed taboo for some vague reason(s)?

Well, that's sound legal reasoning. Let me translate. I don't like that law in Texas, therefore the Supreme Court should strike it down.
This could apply to any behavior that you like, but the people of some state don't. To put forth this argument is childish.
