Supreme Court Declares Perversion a Right The Supreme Court today issued a radical ruling knocking down 3000 years of Judeo-Christian-based law. The Supreme Court today issued a radical ruling knocking down 3000 years of Judeo-Christian-based law. The Court overturned a Texas sodomy law and defied its own precedent to discover a newfangled constitutional right to sodomy.
Concerned Women for America (CWA) Chief Counsel, Jan LaRue, expressed outrage at today's ruling, "If there's no rational basis for prohibiting same-sex sodomy by consenting adults, then state laws prohibiting prostitution, adultery, bigamy, and incest are at risk." In a media release today, LaRue pointed out that "Six lawyers robed in black have magically discovered a right of privacy that includes sexual perversion."
The case began when the police, in response to a call about an emergency at an apartment complex, burst in to discover two men engaging in homosexual sodomy. The men were arrested and promptly began a legal challenge of the law. Part of their complaint is that the law was unfair to homosexuals. However, as CWA noted in a friend-of-the-court brief authored by LaRue, the law applies not only to homosexuals but also to all and anyone who commits same-sex sodomy for whatever reason.
The Supreme Court's ruling raises the specter of future attacks on the family. According to Robert Knight, Director of CWA's Culture and Family Institute, "This ruling means that schoolchildren will be taught that homosexual sodomy is normal, healthy and the equivalent of marital sex. And, it will intensify efforts to attack the next barrier to total sexual 'liberation,' the laws regarding the age of consent. By creating a constitutional 'right' to sodomy, the court has made a mockery of real constitutional rights and has trampled on the rights of the people of Texas to govern their own communities. This is judicial tyranny at its worst."
As Sandy Rios, president of CWA, pointed out, the Court's ugly activism against families is a serious blow to American liberty. "This decision is further evidence that 'We the People' have virtually lost the right to govern ourselves because of judicial activists who think they have a right to create law," she said. Rios urged Americans to act now "to put a stop to the obstructionist Senate filibusters that are blocking President Bush's nominees to the federal courts."
LaRue agreed. "The ruling in Lawrence v. Texas," she explained, "comes from Supreme Court justices who believe in a 'living' and 'evolving' theory of the Constitution-it's as if the Founders wrote it on a blackboard and gave them an eraser and chalk." |
