[JunkYardDogg]

From Alabama, home of Good 'ole American Sexual Repression and Racist Lynchings, are they connected somehow?

By James Vicini
"WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. Supreme Court rejected on Tuesday a constitutional challenge to an Alabama law that makes it a crime to sell sex toys.

The high court refused to hear an appeal by a group of individuals who regularly use sexual devices and by two vendors who argued the case raised important issues about the scope of the constitutional right to sexual privacy.

The law prohibited the distribution of "any device designed or marketed as useful primarily for the stimulation of human genital organs." First-time violators can face a fine of up to $10,000 and as much as one year in jail. ..."

1. Outlaw dildos and only outlaws will have dildos

And the people in the state legislature ought to know seeing as how each and every one of them is a dildo!

2. glad to see conservative gov't keeping out of private lives

3. When are we going to WAKE UP

and realize that America is being taken over by a small minority that wants to control everything we think, do and say?

Even the Supreme Court is afraid of the theocracy. I can't belive they turned down the case, esp. in light of the recent PA. decision which rendered the obscenity laws in PA unconstitutional.

At least I hope that some of you DU'ers will write me in prison after being convicted of selling someone a toy.

4. Supreme Court stipulates a "Special" Exception

"Forthwith, forthright and henceforth from this day forward and backward, no state may place restrictions of any kind upon the extra special "Jeff 'Bulldog' Gannon Sex Cannon pour les Hommes Re-PubicLick-CAN."

5. Alabama can a State be this Rightarded?

On edit I said State

6. What would happen if someone made a sex toy that doubled as a GUN?

7. There would be some really tragic accidents

9. How can you be against gay sex, in favor of abstinence-only sex ed

yet against "self-stimulation"?

I guess abstinence includes:

You and him
You and her
You and yourself
You and it
And things that go buzz in the night.

Do they really want kids to get married at the onset of puberty?

I miss Jocelyn Elders.

[ChairOne]

10. lol - they specifically don't want *women* to control their sex lives...

... that naturally gives women waaaay to much power...

that's all...

[Ian David]

12. Because they're afraid women will learn sex can feel good...

and that would raise their expectations of what their god-fearing "missionary position only" husbands are capable of.

I get it now.

11. Maybe we could start a campaign like: "My Dildo Has Killed...

Less People Than Laura Bush's Car".

[hector459]

13. Just call the toys "WH Press corps dolls" and it will be ok.

You'll get a "pass."

14. American Purtitanical Taliban Striikes Again!

I guess with states' right, now we have a legal precedent for the other 49 states to ban the sale of sex toys.

The rest of the non-Taliban world is probably laughing their keisters off on our backward attitudes on sex.
