We have many inalienable rights. I don’t think we’re asking for trouble with things that are rather obvious because WE are the government. Do we have to put every little detail in there when the entire basis of our Nation is freedom? No need for that level of paranoia. Thomas is in a sense saying “ clean up your books, you folks are a complete joke”.

If you believe that I’ve got a great bridge to sell you. We all know what really happened because we watched the lead up , and it was completely predictable when all attempts at security were disallowed. These witnesses were probably threatened with prosecution ( oh they’d get a fair trial all right ) by the dictatorship currently at the helm.

Again, his job is not to decide based on what he would prefer. Legislators should legislate, and the legislation should be removed from the books. We don’t need a constitutional right for all of our freedoms. These are ancient and outdated laws that very few ( if any) of the people would support. Since we the people ARE the government, there should be little danger of these kinds of laws becoming reality as our representatives are there to do our bidding. I’m not surprised some of these laws still languish on the books because no one bothered to see to it. That’s how insignificant they are. It seems it took a complete oddity of a circumstance to even happen. I’d still argue Thomas ‘ decision is the correct one. It’s just not the job of the judicial branch.

Imagine that! The WaPo fired up about foreign dictatorships.

Ahhh, well perhaps I spoke too soon.Maybe even more hilarious a scenario? Still seems like chicanery from an ex and perhaps that’s why the Police even bothered to charge them. I’m guessing the “ punishment “ was like an appearance ticket and a fine? Again I’d still say the courts decision was correct , but a better plan of action would be to take your lumps and pay the fine. Then pursue getting the law off the books , which it should be imo.

They witnessed this or just hearsay?From absurd to borderline hilarious. A gay lovers spat? ( no pun intended) Bizarro world that something like this ever saw the light of day in a courtroom. The more I hear about this the more I’d say they all got what they deserved. I don’t know the orientation of the ex, but all this was brought on by themselves. It very well may be technically correct, but no one would have known or cared. Sometimes it’s best just to shut the $@&! up. Now, it seems the law should absolutely be scrubbed , but I think the right decision was reached unless I’m missing something. I mean, the courts don’t write legislation.

Again, how did anyone know? I’ve read about laws still on the books in some states that outlaw anything but the missionary position. A seemingly toothless law that no one bothered to scrub from the books because this doesn’t take place in public.

One thing Go fund me has done is expose the surprisingly vile and disgusting character of so many of our fellow Americans. Very sad.

This is not surprising- bit it still amazes me that anyone believes the 2020 Presidential election was legitimate. These are exactly the policies that were in place in swing states , and the Dems fought tooth and nail against signature checking. When one group is against security measures that’s pretty much all you need to know about the results.

Correct. When you vote against tweets, you may be voting FOR terrible policy. Economic, foreign, energy etc.

That didn’t escape me , just surprised anyone cares at this point. Since these acts rarely take place in public I’m not sure how it’s enforceable 99.9% of the time .

Wild for sure. I don’t even want to know how these individuals were “caught” or charges brought. Seems like an ancient ( and ridiculous) law that was never scrubbed from the books. That’s Texas for ya.

I would agree with your opinion. I’m not aware of Thomas saying that these rulings should be revisited by the Court. However, I’ll take your word for it. I disagree with Thomas on that because almost no one in America wants to legislate against it in any way. It would be a complete waste of time.

A lot of outdated laws were probably on the books in many states at that time, and some may still be. I highly doubt these laws are ever enforced or even enforceable. Heck, Dems don’t want to enforce laws that actually affect other people and their property or physical well being. They’re too busy finding new ways to coddle criminals and hamper Police departments. I doubt there is any political will to legislate who can receive oral sex from whom. It’s just not something many people care about ; maybe they did when Leave it to Beaver was a prime time TV show. Abortion is a huge wedge issue and has been for decades.

I confess I’m not at all familiar with the case, so I cannot comment on it. As for Thomas, one could probably make a sound argument to that effect, but it wouldn’t mean it would/ should be outlawed. Countless “ disaster” scenarios that simply will never come to be can be imagined if one wants to. It seems a pointless exercise. Do you feel you have a “ constitutional right” to do whatever you wish, or just the freedom to do it?

It means there is no “ Constitutional right “ explicitly implied for a lot of things. That’s following the document. You are talking about a Supreme Court justice, who by design does not make law. Therefore he cannot “ Do” what you are describing. It’s not confusing at all. There is nothing to lose sleep over. Contraceptives are not going away.

Yep. The people are pretty much done with masks, but Democrat dictators and their minions believe in them forever. SARS2 is always going to be around, so they think masking is too.

Yes it would be to me and probably north of 90% of Americans. That’s why it won’t happen. Many ideas are extreme , but not explicitly banned by the Constitution. It doesn’t mean they have any chance of becoming law, because there is no political will by the people to do so. Condoms, the pill, plan B etc are still going to be around regardless of fear mongering politicians and their election year histrionics. We have representative government in the USA, so we generally don’t have to worry about dictators telling us what to do. Unless it’s a Dem telling us to wear a face diaper or get a jab.

I couldn’t disagree more. To some, following the directions as written may be “ extreme” , but it’s really quite the opposite. These appear to be very bad ideas. I doubt they would get enough support in very many states to actually become law. It’s in the hand of the people to make sure they don’t. Many horrendous laws and policies have been passed by Democrats in states they control though , so I guess anything is possible.

Many things are not explicitly mentioned in the Constitution, but that doesn’t mean they are easily banned or made illegal. It also does not create the political will of the people needed to do so. That a few extremists may exist on the fringes of our two major political parties doesn’t make such far fetched laws imminent.

Obviously every single issue shouldn’t be left to the states. Contraception and interracial marriage are not particularly controversial and there is no reasonable argument for them to be illegal. Those examples don’t hold much water when there is virtually zero political will behind banning them. They aren’t “ issues” on anyones radar. Lastly , I personally don’t support any nationwide law on abortion. I consider myself pro choice. Perhaps there’s a movement in the GOP for a nationwide law but I’d consider that a fools errand. Most people think it should remain legal, with restrictions after about 15 weeks.

So all is hunky dory in Illinois ; due at least in part to their exceptionally forward thinking government. You don’t seem like you’re fixin’ to move to Kansas anytime soon. So what’s the problem? A polarizing issue has been left to the people (i.e the states ) to decide. This is our system of government as designed by the founders of our great Nation. What is acceptable behavior in Illinois may not be in Missouri. Our Democratic Republic allows for this.

This is a new super-duper contagious variant out there! It’s like clockwork ; get folks scared again because the masks and restrictions are coming back. Remember the Dems and cdc said we were allowed to “ take a break” ? Well , break time’s almost over folks. There’s a huge election coming up in November and going to the polls just won’t be safe, so we’re going to need a lot of paper ballots!

Wow, it’s kinda like getting a designer breed pooch for these people. I’d say it could be a lot of things. Use your imagination.

Means nothing coming from a dumba$$ such as yourself , Buf.
