Supreme Court Will Decide Legality of State Sodomy Laws

[goofyfish]

Since when is it the order of the state to uphold sexual conduct? I read nothing in the Constitution that seems to indicate that the Founding Fathers really cared who was boffing whom. As it being unnatural - sorry, but critters have same-sex relationships. More than one rancher has been disappointed when his prize winning bull seems to find the other bulls more attractive than the cows.

In a case that tests the constitutionality of sodomy laws in 13 states, the justices will review the prosecution of two men under a 28-year-old Texas law making it a crime to engage in same-sex intercourse.

At issue is the constitutionality of anti-sodomy laws currently in force in a handful of states.

In 1986, the court on a 5-4 vote upheld the prosecution of two gay men under a Georgia anti-sodomy law in the case of Bowers v. Hardwick. That case focused on the right to privacy. (Full text here)

It all boils down to the Right to Privacy. Upholding sodomy laws means the government can come into someone's bedroom. A beginning precedent will be set for the repeal of Roe v. Wade which is based on the right to privacy. Let's face it ladies, if they don't have a problem telling a guy what to do with his penis, they certainly won't have any problem telling you what to do with your uterus.

Peace.
