One would think. Oddly enough, the issue of federal law was not brought up in the decision at all.

Still a federal problem though or not?

It wasn’t an issue here, either, or at least the court didn’t make an issue of it in their opinion. I’m not sure I buy the theory, anyway. At the time the country was founded, sodomy was a felony in every state. Today it’s not a crime at all; in fact, per Lawrence it’s a protected right.

I suspect that the problem of felony inflation is what the NC court was grappling with, something that was not an issue before the SC in Heller.

We could, if comments had tags of their own. I might should add it for the entire thread, though. And feel free to hold me in contempt of cop for saying “might should” while under arrest for another alleged language violation.

If I point out that your right to bear arms actually has two fewer commas, can we add the Language Police tag? .-= tgirsch´s last blog ..The Poll Question I Wish Someone Would Ask =-.
