Although most people think sodomy laws have been unconstitutional since the Supreme Court's 2003 ruling in Lawrence v. Texas, Virginia Attorney General would like to explain why — in his view — that's not so.
What's more, he wants the 4th Circuit Court of Appeals to agree with him and uphold the constitutionality of Virginia's sodomy law — which makes anal and oral sex between people of any sex a crime — in the process.
Cuccinelli last week asked the full appellate court to reverse a three-judge panel's decision and uphold the application of the law in a criminal prosecution against William Scott MacDonald, a very unsympathetic defendant.
MacDonald, 47 at the time, was convicted of violating the state's criminal solicitation statute, which applies whenever a person over 18 "commands ... or otherwise attempts to persuade" a person under 18 to commit a felony.
Hmm so in order to punish a man for forcing sexual contact on a young woman this guy wants to make the sex act itself illegal?
Isn't that kind of like punishing a drunk driver by making operating a motor vehicle by EVERYBODY against the law?
And by the way just which segment of the population might be the most affected by having sodomy laws prosecuted in Virginia? Well, certainly not the uptight Mr. Cucinelli, that's for damn sure!
I am pretty sure that even Virginia has laws against rape in their state, and do NOT need to reinstate laws originally thought up by people wearing black outfits with belt buckles on their hats.
Virginia Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli II has urged the state's public colleges and universities to rescind policies that ban discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation, arguing in a letter sent to each school that their boards of visitors had no legal authority to adopt such statements.
I am suddenly made to feel very badly for MRS. Cuccinelli, whose sex life with Attorney General "Cotton Mather" must consist of being completely covered head to toe with a sheet in which a hole has been strategically placed over her genitals allowing "the master" to do his business while beating her about the head and face with a Bible and screaming "Oh Lord please forgive this revolting creature for a forcing me to defile her in this manner!"
Personally I think sex between religious zealots should be outlawed. That would certainly help to quickly put an end their ignorant reign of terror don't you think?
