Offensiveness isn't grounds for legal coercion
Yes, it is. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miller_test)

That's debatable (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Original_intent).

I meant "It shouldn't be."
That's like using the Defense of Marriage Act as an excuse for keeping gay marriage banned.

I think as far as TMK discussions go, homosexuality is the new Hitler.

That's debatable (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Original_intent).
I don't like originalism. Our right to privacy wouldn't exist under originalism. Just saying. That was guaranteed by Griswold v. Connecticut. The U. S. Constitution contains no express right to privacy. It was established by interpreting the Fourth and Third Amendments, but you'd never be able to reach that decision as a literalist.
-
Except the Founders wanted privacy, which was their motive for adding the Fourth Amendment. If we subscribe to Original Intent, then of course we're going to see a Right to Privacy in the text, because it was supposed to be seen there.
Anyway, my link was mostly an argument against the idea that the Supreme Court needs all these tests and standards of their own invention to interpret law.

They wanted a right to privacy? Well, you wouldn't know that by just looking at the text. The Fourth Amendment just guards against unreasonable search and seizures.

...because of the underlying belief that the government shouldn't be intruding on the people's privacy.

What was their original intent regarding condom use?
-
I can't imagine why they would need to put anything into the Constitution about condom use, since the the rape of the people by government that they were trying to prevent was figurative.
-
Rapists don't use condoms.

I vote to split the last 15 posts or so into the Not at the Dinner Table board, except I can't do that myself.

Listen, just because you don't...

Each time LD insists on his innocence, it becomes less convincing.
