Our retarded cousins
You know, those mouthbreathing knuckledraggers living in places like Texas. Anyway, they banded dildos and other sex toys a ways back and the Supreme Court has now twice refused to grant cert
The U.S. Supreme Court refused to question a Texas law that bars the sale of dildos and other “obscene devices,” turning away an appeal by a store clerk facing prosecution.
The justices made no comment in rejecting the appeal, which argued that the law violated a constitutional right to sexual privacy. The court last year turned down a similar challenge to an Alabama law.
Texas is one of a handful of states that ban sexual devices. Courts have upheld laws in Georgia, Mississippi, Alabama and Texas and struck down restrictions in Colorado, Kansas and Louisiana.
Texas bans the manufacture, sale, distribution and promotion of “devices including a dildo or artificial vagina, designed or marked as useful primarily for the stimulation of human genital organs.”
To me, this is an easy Interstate Commerce case (and thus states do not have the power to restrict). I do not know why the plaintiff did not follow this strategy, because if so the State would have to prove that a dildo is the equivalent of guns or drugs.
Whatever. I’m tired of religious fundamentalists taking my country back into the 13th century. Up next: burkhas for all you bitches.
