Can you smoke crack in "the privacy of your own bedroom?"
My point is, the law cares. Where is polygamy legal?
Can you smoke crack in "the privacy of your own bedroom?"
If you had a brain, you would realize that Lawrence v Texas lays the ground work for gay marriage by outlawing laws against Sodomy, after all you cannot have gay marriage if the result of it is illegal can you?
I know the history. I did read the case. The judge made a political decision. This is the frist time a judge has ever made this argument in regard to gay marriage. Maybe he should have disclosed his gayness and recused himself, but that is another subject.
The 14th Amendment has nothing to do with sex, gay rights, gay marriage. This judge, like none other before him, has decided there is a penumbra there for gay marriage. he's decided the federal government is going to manage marriage.
I say he's wrong. Is there a penumbra in the 14th Amendment equal protection clause that protects rich people from being treated differently than everyone else, from higher taxes for example? If not why not? Is there one protecting incest? If not why not? Is there one in there protecting polygamy? How about bestiality?
What we are seeing is the dis-assembly of state sovereignty, a democratic majority dispossessed by a single federal judge, and the complete centralization of power in the hands of the federal judiciary.
Then tell me dear why is this federal judge the very first judge in history to take this stance?
Incest in California is illegal regardless of age:
California Penal (Criminal) Code 285.
Persons being within the degrees of consanguinity within which
marriages are declared by law to be incestuous and void, who
intermarry with each other, or who being 14 years of age or older,
commit fornication or adultery with each other, are punishable by
imprisonment in the state prison.
Who decides? How do you know? Does one man decide or does society decide?
Crack harms society. You can't say the same about gay marriage.
The court permitted Blankenhorn to testify but reserved
the question of the appropriate weight to give to Blankenhorn’s
opinions. Tr 2741:24-2742:3. The court now determines that
Blankenhorn’s testimony constitutes inadmissible opinion testimony
that should be given essentially no weight.
Federal Rule of Evidence 702 provides that a witness may
be qualified as an expert “by knowledge, skill, experience,
training, or education.” The testimony may only be admitted if it
“is based upon sufficient facts or data” and “is the product of reliable principles and methods.” Id. Expert testimony must be
both relevant and reliable, with a “basis in the knowledge and
experience of [the relevant] discipline.” Kumho Tire Co v
Carmichael, 526 US 137, 147, 149 (1999) (citing Daubert v Merrell
Dow Pharm, 509 US 579, 589, 592 (1993)).
you're this desperate for approval by GB fuckwads like yourself that you flat out make shit up
ask yourself why ~
Answer my questions. Ask the government how crack harms society, they are the ones who decided that it's illegal in "the privacy of your own bedroom." Or did you miss the whole point of my posts? Everyone says get the government out of my bedroom, but don't ask why they can't smoke crack, commit incest, or adultery, or fuck their dog, in the privacy of their own bedroom.![]()
The government has no laws regarding adultery, and likely never will.
I never mind answering questions, but I did ask mine first, and you have a documented habit of not answering questions or providing any links to back up your claim.
Further, you are the one who claimed that you don't care what people do in their bedroom.
In the United States, laws vary from state to state. In those states where adultery is still on the statute book (although rarely prosecuted), penalties vary from life sentence (Michigan),[47] to a fine of $10 (Maryland), to a Class I felony (Wisconsin).[48] In the U.S. Military, adultery is a potential court-martial offense.[15] The enforceability of adultery laws in the United States is unclear following Supreme Court decisions since 1965 relating to privacy and sexual intimacy of consenting adults.[49] However, occasional prosecutions do occur.[50]
47. California has no interest in asking gays and lesbians to
change their sexual orientation or in reducing the number of
gays and lesbians in California.
55. Permitting same-sex couples to marry will not affect the
number of opposite-sex couples who marry, divorce, cohabit,
have children outside of marriage or otherwise affect the
stability of opposite-sex marriages.
