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.
Yes, I agree with him. Castration is an appropriate punishment for crimes against nature. Death penalty was too harsh. We are a civilized nation after all.
Homosexuality is NOT a crime against nature as almost all species show homosexual behaviour in some portion of their members. This alone makes it as natural as passing wind.
So why wouldn't the laws regarding sexual contact with a minor already cover this?
Two reasons. One, I think the far-right wing people now making a fuss about this were in denial about the Lawrence decision being final, and didn't feel they needed to act on it. Second, since Virginia's aoc of 18 is older than most states, I don't think there was a groundswell of public demand for these cases to be prosecuted in the fist place. It is a crisis manufactured for the benefit of the politicians.

No, I am sorry but that is incorrect. You might see an female dog "hump" another female dog, but it has nothing to do with homosexuality, and everything to do with announcing who the alpha dog is.
Lawrence v. Texas was in 2003. Is it me, or are Virginia's lawmakers kinda slow?
It's you. Someone who was prosecuted under the sodomy law for sex with a minor is attempting to get it overturned because of the Texas case. That's why it's coming out in the open now.

The prosecutors should've known not to proceed with prosecutions under an unconstitutional statute.
Lawrence V Texas was heard in 2003. They have had a decade to get laws in place that would have covered this situation.
And how would that affect people prosecuted and sentenced under the previous statute, attempting to get that sentencing overturned for a law no longer in place because of the Texas case.

No. Virginia should have taken steps to repeal the Unconstitutional Crimes Against Nature law, and replaced it with a law protecting minors. When the Supreme Court says sodomy laws are Unconstitutional, it's up to each state's Attorney General to review the state's laws and let the governor, the legislature, and the people of the state know that their sodomy laws may not be enforceable according to the Supreme Court's ruling. Evidently this was not done. And that's a huge problem for Cucinnelli. He may be able to point fingers at the Republican Attorney General who was in office when the Supreme Court ruled that sodomy laws were Unconstitutional, but the problem is that Virginia didn't prosecute the 47 year old for a law against sodomy with a minor, it prosecuted him for Crimes Against Nature, which was a law against sodomy.
