u.s. supreme court strikes down texas sodomy law.

in related news, please note that scalia says he has nothing against homosexuals, but is quick to point out that the court has largely signed on to the so-called homosexual agenda. score.

who can tell me what this means for the sodomy laws in the other 12 states? i am also curious to know if things like polygamy & adultery are against the law & if so what the legal reasoning is.

Polygamy is illegal in every state. The only reason Utah became a state in 1894 was because they promised to outlaw polygamy. I think polygamy and adultery are illegal because they threaten the nuclear family unit, and as such are seen as detrimental to the moral character and well-being of society.

I can't imagine that the other anti-sodomy laws will have a legislative foot to stand on after this ruling. Six-to-three is pretty decisive, as far as I can tell, and I'm sure we'll see people butt-fucking on the steps of the Capitols in Birmingham, Salt Lake, Tallahassee, et al., in celebration. Well, I hope we don't actually see it, but you know what I mean.
