SpencerH, I agree with you. However, I don't think the Supreme Court will overrule substantive due process. So this is the best result, IMO. I'd prefer if this could be done by the democratic process, but with decades of substantive due process.“I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”

elected Christian caste.Defending democracy equates to defending the Christian caste that does govern the US government?
Let the legislature change the laws.
Let the judiciary uphold the laws.Scouse Git (2) La Fayette Adam Smith Solomwi and Loinburger will not be forgotten.

elected Christian caste.
Let the legislature change the laws.
Let the judiciary uphold the laws.
And I find it particularly odd how you think "letting the people decide" equates to taking away personal choice and legislating homophobic Christian morals. Isn't that taking away the people's choice?
Or by "letting the people decide" do you mean forcing the Christian agenda on more people, since they form a majority? Tyranny of the majority.

Actually, Scalia regularly takes parting shots at targets of choice in his dissents. In reality, that's pretty much all a dissent or concurrence is, since they don't form any body of law.Originally posted by obiwan18
Can't resist a parting shot at Scalia et al, rubbing their noses?
Generally, the procedure is performed within the woman's vagina and uterus. Perhaps there's an argument to be made that the vagina and uterus are subject to a greater degree of state action than is the rectum.Last I checked abortions aren't performed in the bedrooms of the nation.

Who's the one legislating? I'm upholding the status quo.legislating homophobic Christian morals.
Coming from a Canadian?Do you comprehend the US check & balance setup?
Yes, and last I checked it says that the legislature gets to make laws, not the judiciary.
Not just Christians, why don't you slag the Jews and the Muslims, for an equal opportunity rant?do you mean forcing the Christian agenda on more people,
If the sodomy laws are so bad, get the legislature to change them. Otherwise, we get the ruling caste argument of Scalia politicising the SCOTUS.Scouse Git (2) La Fayette Adam Smith Solomwi and Loinburger will not be forgotten.

If their names are Antonin Scalia and sit on the SCOTUS, then such "defenders" would be. You'll note my comment was directed towards his bigoted language and subsequent attempt to claim he has nothing against gays, not the content of his dissent. Any more strawmen?Originally posted by obiwan18

Scalia is an enemy of Democracy.
Only if you don't know what democracy is. Scalia is probably the biggest 'democract' (small D) on the bench.“I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”

He likely makes a distinction between the act and the person, hence qualifying for the supposed protection of religious beliefs.bigoted language and subsequent attempt to claim he has nothing against gays,

The Christians have already legislated it.Originally posted by obiwan18
Who's the one legislating? I'm upholding the status quo.
Who do you think created the anti-sodomy laws?
Coming from a dual citizen who spent four years in the USA.Coming from a Canadian?
Who's making laws here?Yes, and last I checked it says that the legislature gets to make laws, not the judiciary.
The supreme court has every power to strike down laws it sees as unconstitutional.
Because I don't see them forcing their agenda on others ina "democracy" like the USA? And as for the Jews, Israel is far more liberal with homosexuals than the US.Not just Christians, why don't you slag the Jews and the Muslims, for an equal opportunity rant?
Why would we have to? The laws are unconstitutional, ergo they were struck down.If the sodomy laws are so bad, get the legislature to change them. Otherwise, we get the ruling caste argument of Scalia politicising the SCOTUS.
If you're so against sodomy, helpful advice would be to not practice it.
