"Busted" in what sense?
Is it a crime to have sex in an office? The Supreme Court's (horribly incorrect) decision in Lawrence v. Texas was not limited to saying that people have a right to do what this politician was doing in one's own home. People now have a constitutional right (according to the Court) to do that conduct period, no matter where they do it.
The scandal isn't that he's gay. The scandal is that he's a sanctimonious hypocrite who covers for his own insecurities by trying to use his position of power to trample the rights of others. Who said anything about a crime?
Also, yikes dude...
I know what the scandal is; I'm just confused about the word "busted."
Is "yikes dude" about my condemnation of Lawrence v. Texas?
Uh, yeah.
I condemn all substantive due process decisions, and that includes decisions such as
Griswold v. Conn. The Due Process Clause was only meant to guarantee fair procedures, not judicially acceptable laws. Posters here are condemning this politician for his hypocrisy;
Griswold was a very hypocritical opinion. The late Professor David P. Currie wrote that the Court's majority opinion in
Griswold, given who wrote it and what that author had said earlier in his career on the Court, was "one of the most hypocritical opinions in the history of the Court." (Source: "The Constitution in the Supreme Court; Second Century, 1888-1986," published in 1990.)
