My 22 year old son said years ago that first they get us to accept homosexual sex, then necrophilia, beastiality, and pedophilia.

Our old decaying members of the SCOTUSA have once again open the door to let more deamons loose.

And of course our spineless elected officals are more concerned about reelection than what is moral, and will do nothing to counteract the pervision let loose again as they did nothing to prevent the murder of millions and millions of defenseless inocent babies from be torn apart by the murder for money crowd.

The next preversion to go before this decaying group will be even more evil, and will once again this group will set themselves up to invent new rules they feel are just.

Democrat Rep. James P. Moran of Virginia commented, "The government has no business regulating or legislating morality

Then what the hell are we doing with laws the prohibit murder and theft? Those laws are taken directly from the Ten Commandments, which also means, of course, they violate the separation of church and state as well.

Open up those prison doors and let my people go!

Just one or two will do the trick (Breyer/or Souter and Kennedy). The other obsequious bastards will get the message.

This once great Constitutional Republic rejected the notion of philosopher kings ruling the proletariat, at its inception. Sadly, to function as a Constitutional Republic the true sovereigns must be participating in its healthy operation ... which of course the democrat party has adequately proven they are not and have been trained to vote on reflex, without paying the slightest attention to truth or any other essential for active, healthy sovereignty.

"My 22 year old son said years ago that first they get us to accept homosexual sex, then necrophilia, beastiality, and pedophilia."

The three things you note require only one consenting adult. However, I will reason like a judge here and rule for the perp.

Necrophilia is exempt from the consenting adults because one of them is dead, and it insults the court to even consider that a dead person can give consent. Therefore, as long as there is one consenting adult in this case, and as long as it is private, it is constitutional, and the police are not to interfere because it may harm the dignity of the live adult.

Animals are not listed in the Constitution. Therefore, animals are legal property of their owners. An animal is by logical definition, not an adult. Therefore, as long as bestiality takes place in the privacy of a home, and there is one consenting adult, it is constitutional, and the police are not to interfere because it may harm the dignity of the human adult.

Pedophilia deals with sex with children. Children are by definition not adults. However, if in the opinion of an adult, sex with a child would be beneficial to the child, and as long as it is in the privacy of the home, it is constitutional, and the police may not interfere because it would harm the dignity of the adult.

Such laws can be justified on more than one basis. Laws prohibiting murder, theft, etc. existed independently of and prior to the writing of the Ten Commandments. The ancient Greeks, for one, had never heard of the God of Abraham, but somehow managed to come up with the same ideas.

Also, it's a lot different admitting Biblical law as an inspiration for law, as opposed to using Scripture directly as law. There are a helluva lot of other laws in the Old Testament that don't belong in a free society.

"I have no problem accepting the fact that someone, through no fault of his own, is attracted to children..."

"I have no problem accepting the fact that Typhoid Mary contracted the disease through no fault of her own... So she shouldn't be quaranteened, even though she's spreading a deadly disease, because it's not her fault...

Jeez, these people make me sick.

This ruling will do wonders for Clinton's home state. No more incest jokes since brothers and sisters and other family members will have the right to privacy.

Does anybody here seriously think that the SC would allow sex with children, if it somehow made it all the way there. Seriously, the speculation is a bit silly. There is a big difference between sex between adults and sex with children who can't really consent. I don't like homosexuality, and I'll speak my mind about it and take shots at it, but I won't try and use something as ridiculous as this opening the door to sex with children to go after it. I, and most everybody else here, can make much better cases against homosexuality.

“consenting adult” is homosexual propaganda and redundant. If one has the mental capacity to consent then one is an adult and the legislature be damned. Child emancipation happens all the time in the courts by a standard of IQ, capacity to consent applies in Texas for the death penalty, power of attorney and emancipating the mentally ill, and there is NO reason other than arbitrary law that children can’t meet this burden.

Old Jimmy Moran sort of admits that what he wants to protect is immoral. So in his mind it must be a logical progression that the government has no business involving itself in decadence, degeneracy, abberations and abominations. I guess there should no longer be any "malum in se" only "malum prohibitum". Thank God we have idiots like Moran to show us the light.
