HEY Pelosi Junior Read the article that YOU linked before you comment please.
"This case is not about sexual orientation, but using current law to protect a 17 year-old girl from a 47 year-old sexual predator,"
The attorney general is committed to protecting Virginia's children from predators who attempt to exploit them and rob them of their childhood."
Only someone with a twisted agenda would miss this. A very short article and you couldn't handle it?
it's clear that Cuccinelli's position here has absolutely nothing to do with consenting adults or gay rights. It's about a case involving a man pushing 50 and a high school-aged girl. Oh, and the Attorney General's office is siding with an Obama appointee's ruling on the matter.
Then why doesn't he try to get the statutory rape penalties changed from a misdemeanor to a felony? The woman was under the age of consent for Virginia. That would be helping, and not adding a law that could be used against consenting adults.

Can someone explain to me why they can't just charge the perp for statutory rape? the age of consent in VA is 18 right? How would making sodomy illegal help?

Perhaps you can ask Guy Benson to explain why Cuccinelli isn't relying on the new law that outlaws sodomy between an adult and minors. If his goal is to protect minors from adult sexual predators, doesn't that law meet his goals?
From a link in the OP's article:
"The case involves a man who solicited oral sex from a minor and Cuccinelli's office claims that the Supreme Court decision does not apply to cases involving minors. The majority opinion by the 4th Circuit panel stated that a new law outlawing sodomy between an adult and a minor would likely be constitutional. "

Show me a politician of either party blubbering about how he or she is doing it all "for the children" and I'll show you a politician who wants to shred what's left of the Constitution.
well they are special. We even have special laws for them. They are such special people that if they get attacked the penalty is worse for their attacker. Why they are so special, marriage isn't good enough for them so we need another name for it. Special can be confusing at times.

Like the guy who said "This is our first task — caring for our children. It's our first job. If we don't get that right, we don't get anything right. That's how, as a society, we will be judged."
even though his drones have killed 175 Pakistani children.

If an AG can't nail that creep without invoking a previously overturned law, he needs to find another profession. Or Virginia can get with the program and update their laws to something resembling 20th-century standards.
Well, I guess he's trying to get another job, so there is that.

You would think. Two charges for the price of one maybe?

I believe he is saying that creating a new law would do that. Not that there already is a law.

What's the point?
The age of consent should certainly be no more than 16 in the first place, but that's another argument.
