Lawrence Has Legs

As I predicted months ago, the Supreme Court's ill-advised "federalization" of sodomy is being applied to conduct far beyond its facts. The Army Court of Appeals has dismissed a heterosexual sodomy conviction, reasoning that the conduct was authorized by Lawrence: "The case before the Army court involved a male Army specialist who admitted that he had engaged in consensual oral sex in a barracks room with a female civilian whom he had met at a nightclub." This has nothing to do with privacy--and everything to do with the Army's ability to maintain discipline.

So long as the gay rights movement was premised on privacy, they had my vote. But neither gay marriage nor the "right" to screw in barracks have any connection to privacy. The self-proclaimed "civil rights" lawyers should stop pretending they do.
