incorrect, when was the last time someone was put in prison for sodomy? no one can enforce sodomy laws in the US. Supreme Court decision "invalidates" state sodomy laws.
You cannot be prosecuted and sent to prison for having anal sex. The Supreme court decision in Lawrence vs texas will be used to free anyone even considered for sodomy laws. Once a decision like that is made, it opens the gates.
This is a Federal law vs State Law argument, and we all know who wins.
Supreme Court decision trumps anything a state has to say.
Louisiana has "abortion is illegal" laws too, does that make abortion illegal in Louisiana? No, because Federal law says it is legal.
