Sodomy Laws...

Given the Rightward lean of the Supreme Court it is good to see that (most) of them struck down the atavistic Texas sodomy law .

It's about freakin' time the Court is in line with the progressive direction of this country.

But to be fair I must let Conservatives like Texas State Rep (Republican) Warren Chisumare have their say about the ruling:

"We got kicked in the teeth today. Gee whiz. I don't like what I see at all," said Texas state Rep. Warren Chisum, R-Pampa, an advocate of the recently passed state law outlawing same-sex marriages in Texas.

Chisum said he's afraid that the court's decision could clear the way to make prostitution, incest and bigamy legal.

"I'm not sure you can't marry your dog if you want to after this," Chisum said. "They opened a Pandora's box about regulating any immoral act."

Now, I read the concurring judgement and (other than the rumblings of dissent by Justice Scalia) I didn't come to this conclusion.

In fact, I hadn't even considered this angle. But hey(!) you have to hand it to a Right Wing Conservative fool to take an extremely liberal reading of the ruling and help all of us sinners slouch toward Gomorrah.

I don't know about you but I now clearly see that this is an open door to my (until now, undisclosed) prostitution ring.

I've also been in email contact with my many friends who practice bigamy and incest and even though they thought this ruling only applied to homosexuals they are now overjoyed. They may now even put old Chisum on their Christmas card mailing list for the suggestion.

And the one (okay, two) friends I have that practice bestiality are just about ready to celebrate too.

I'm sure the Court will concur...
