Cuccinelli is so bananas, I wouldn't put it past him to have an entire tropical preserve growing in his head. I mean, really.

SCOTUS already nixed these kinds of laws didn't it?

That doesn't stop them.  Look at ND and abortion, for example.

They argue that Lawrence doesn't apply to minors, and the girl in this case was 17 apparently. (link)

i don't think gay behavior should be outlawed, even though I think it is a sin...but does this law forbid anal/oral between a married heterosexual couple?  if so, what is the justification for calling such acts even a sin?

[Likely Voter]

So I guess Dirty Sanchez and Donkey Punching are totally a nono in VA? I wonder how Cuccinelli feels about the Dutch Oven?

Maybe he can hold a town hall and tell us all what sexual acts we can and cannot do in our homes. It would be very helpful. Maybe with a demonstration like from Monty Python's Meaning of Life

The problem with oral sex is that the women don't then have to come in for a transvaginal ultrasound.

Sexual acts, even with-in a marriage, is a sin if the act isn't meant to result in babies. Why do you think there's such a controversy around condoms?

[Mehmentum]

Yes, this is the guy the GOP wants to be their gubernatorial candidate, they could have had Bowling, but noooo, they had to go with the crazy one.

[Torie]

The 17 year old thing may be relevant for statutory rape issues, but is irrelevant to the Constitutionality of banning sodomy.

Even for most conservative Catholics of my acquaintance, politicians or otherwise, there's a time and a place.

Ken Cuccinelli seems like a man in desperate need of a good blowjob.

Yet they allow them to pull out...the whole thing lacks logic, scriptural support, and the view itself is contradictory

Likewise I think your posts here are sinful and an affront to God (because I don't like them), but I don't think you should be banned (yet).

[Antonio the Sixth]

What are these guys hoping for, apart from bad publicity?

It doesn't matter. If the Virginia statute bans these acts regardless of age, it is overbroad and inherently invalid regardless of the specific of the cases.

You could say the same about that argument against gay marriage.

I think what Cuccinelli's getting at is the same thing that certain people were getting at pre-Lawrence when they were hoping that the SCOTUS would overturn bans on homosexual sodomy only on equal protection grounds but allow bans on homosexual and heterosexual sodomy alike (which several states had) to stay in place.  The idea is "if we're banning anal and oral sex for straights and gays alike people can't sue on the basis that we're discriminating against gays."  If SCOTUS didn't buy that in 2003 the Courts aren't going to buy it now.

What's the problem? Mr. Cuccinelli is the Attorney General of the Commonwealth and tasked with defending the statutes passed by its legislature.

Except he seems to actually believe that this unconstitutional, ludicrous, unenforceable except selectively for the government to punish those it does not like, and offensive, statute, has merit.

[CLARENCE 2015!]

I remember watching this guy in the Attorneys General forum Fox News had interviewing the Presidential candidates... he sure seems like a nancy boy
