Virginia Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli has filed a petition with the 4th Circuit Court of Appeals. He objects to the three-judge panel’s 2-1 ruling that Virginia’s anti-sodomy law is unconstitutional, and he wants the full 15-member court to meet en banc to rehear the case. The case actually involved oral sex performed on an adult man by a 17-year old woman. They could have charged the man with endangering a minor or ephebophilia or something, but they charged him with sodomy instead, so the man’s conviction was thrown out. Mr. Cuccinelli is a candidate for governor and he’ll probably be facing off against Bill Clinton’s bagman, Terry McAuliffe.
North Carolina can’t really compete on the buttsex-statute front, but they have some lawmakers who want to go back to the days when the Constitution didn’t apply to the states and we could have Establishments of Religion, like Congregationalism in Massachusetts which was the official religion until the 1830’s. Will the Tarheel State choose Southern Baptist, Methodist, or Rastafarianism? In any case, someone better unfreeze William Tecumseh Sherman and get him down to the bullpen for some practice throws.
The stuff the Republicans are doing in the states is just nutty, but even RNC Chairman Reince Priebus is acting strange. Someone ought to tell him that infanticide involves the killing of an infant. A synonym for infant is “newborn.” Newborn and unborn don’t mean the same thing. I shouldn’t complain, though. I can’t spell that fucker’s name. I have to check it every time. Is it ie and then ei, or the other way around? I don’t remember the whole “i before e except after r” being a thing. With a name like that, I expect Priebus to be the first guy killed in a James Bond movie.
And then there’s Mark Sanford.
What you got?
