I usually don't like to post about this type of stuff, but it was too good to pass up:
Rick Santorum: It's all about sodomy
by John in DC - 6/06/2006 12:16:00 PM
Far-right Senator Rick Santorum (R-PA) is on the Senate floor right now railing about sodomy. According to Santorum, this entire debate about gay marriage hinges on the issue of whether society should legitimize sodomy or not.
Santorum is railing against the recent Supreme Court decision, Lawrence v. Texas. That's the decision that rules that states can no longer throw gay people in jail simply because of who they are (up until then, several states made "sodomy" a crime - and remember, sodomy includes oral and anal sex, both heterosexual and gay).
So, Rick Santorum is upset that states can no longer throw gay people in jail. Rick Santorum is upset that analingus, cunnilingus and fellatio are no longer crimes in America, even for heterosexual married couples. Rick Santorum thinks this is what the United States Congress should be spending its time and money debating.
Santorum just spent a lot of time defending Justice Scalia's dissent in the case. Santorum agrees with Scalia's dissent. That would be the dissent in which Scalia said the following:
State laws against bigamy, same-sex marriage, adult incest, prostitution, masturbation, adultery, fornication, bestiality, and obscenity are likewise sustainable only in light of Bowers’ validation of laws based on moral choices. Every single one of these laws is called into question by today’s decision; the Court makes no effort to cabin the scope of its decision to exclude them from its holding.
Yes, Rick Santorum just made the entire debate about masturbation and oral sex.
Nice.
And he wonders why he's 23 points behind his Democratic opponent in his re-election campaign. He wonders why the American public overwhelming is fed up with the Republicans running Washington?
