Some good news of our own

|

On April 7, 2003, U.S. Senator Rick Santorum (R) Pennsylvania, spoke these immortal words in his infamous AP interview:

And if the Supreme Court says that you have the right to consensual sex within your home, then you have the right to bigamy, you have the right to polygamy, you have the right to incest, you have the right to adultery. You have the right to anything.

I suspect that the six member majority (including SDO's concurrence) of today's Supreme Court decision in Lawrence v. Texas, would tend to disagree with Santorum's peculiar interpretation of constitutional law. (For an alternate view, see Volokh.) At any rate, sodomy laws are now a part of America's past. And that's a very good thing.
