You notice that people don't refer to America as the "land of the free" anymore? The fact that 3 of 9 Supreme Court Justices think that the state has a right to determine exactly what sex acts can and cannot be done by adult citizens in their own bedroom explains why. Congratulations America for entering the 20th century, you are now only 100 years behind the times on issues of privacy, freedom, and individual rights.

Here's Scalia's dissenting opinion: http://scotus.ap.org/scotus/02-102p.zd.pdf

It reads like The Communist Manifesto. He says "The Fourteenth Amendment expressly allows States to deprive their citizens of liberty, so long as due process of law is provided" - so there you go, as long as there is a vote on it, citizens can be deprived of any liberty by the state. Land of the free, my ass!!

I love a lot of things about the USA, but holy shit, when it comes to issues of individual freedom, y'all are fucked up! And it's your intention to teach religious freedom to Afghanis and Iraqis?!?! Sigh.

But anyway, have a legal blowjob tonight in celebration of a small step forward.
