There are still laws against sodomy in many states. Those laws are backwards and antiquated, but they are still laws. I would expect every DA in the country to throw out a sodomy case involving two or more consenting adults not only because it’s a stupid law but because spending tax-payer money on such a case does nothing to protect the public good.
Generally I agree, though it depends a little bit. If the local populace strongly feels sodomy should be illegal, then they have the right to have that law. The DA should then enforce it.
Fair point though.
I couldn’t disagree more with that. That’s the kind of thinking that results in the perpetuation of all kinds of racist and bigoted laws that strip people of their personal freedoms.
I agree, it is. I believe that our rights come from the people, though, and it is ultimately people that are responsible for choosing and upholding them. This is why we can amend our constitution.
