The Supreme Court Backs Out of the Bedroom With Its Hands Up!
Topic: Civil Liberties 3:21 pm EDT, Jun 26, 2003

Hot off the presses, from the majority opinion that overturned Texas' ban on homosexual sex:

"It must be acknowledged, of course, that the Court in
Bowers was making the broader point that for centuries
there have been powerful voices to condemn homosexual
conduct as immoral. The condemnation has been shaped
by religious beliefs, conceptions of right and acceptable
behavior, and respect for the traditional family. For many
persons these are not trivial concerns but profound and
deep convictions accepted as ethical and moral principles
to which they aspire and which thus determine the course
of their lives. These considerations do not answer the
question before us, however. The issue is whether the
majority may use the power of the State to enforce these
views on the whole society through operation of the crimi-
nal law.
“Our obligation is to define the liberty of all, not to
mandate our own moral code.” Planned Parenthood of
Southeastern Pa. v. Casey, 505 U. S. 833, 850 (1992)

"Liberty of all", damn that feels good.
