Cuccinelli (2008): Anti-adultery laws are good, should be enforced more!

[barfbag]

Jesse Jackson, Bill Clinton, Al Gore, Jim McGreevy, Mark Sanford, John Ensign, John Edwards, Newt Gingrich, and Gary Hart won't want to live in Virginia then. Wait a minute, most politicians will want to avoid the state if you really think about it. Hooray!

I think adultery should be treated as some manner of tort, personally. I don't think most of the adultery laws that are currently on the books in states that still have them are very practical or well-considered. I doubt Virginia is an exception.

Seriously?  That seems completely crazy.

Don't you like the idea of pretty much putting all politicians behind bars though?

[barfbag]

Adultery is virtually inevitable, unless the parties are really hopeless.

Our politicians prove all the time that adultery will happen. The last thing we want our country to do is govern on the notion that people can't be trusted to take care of themselves and therefore need the government to do things for them.
