A divided three-judge panel of the Richmond-based 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals on Tuesday overturned Virginia's anti-sodomy law in a Colonial Heights case. The majority ruled that Virginia's "Crimes Against Nature" anti-sodomy provision is unconstitutional in light of a 2003 U.S. Supreme Court decision invalidating state laws that make sexual activity between consenting adults crimes.
"It is shameful that Virginia continued to prosecute individuals under the sodomy statute for 10 years after the Supreme Court held that such laws are unconstitutional," said Rebecca Glenberg, legal director for the American Civil Liberties Union of Virginia. "This ruling should bring an end to such prosecutions," she added.
Brian Gottstein, a spokesman for the Virginia Republican Attorney General's office, said, "We are reviewing the decision and will consider our options."
Virginia Anti-Sodomy Law: 'Crimes Against Nature' Law Struck Down By 4th U.S. Circuit Court Of Appeals
Apparently republicans in Virginia don't get a head.
I wonder which one is more exciting?LOL - oh good, now everyone gets to experience the joys of legal oral sex as opposed to the joys of illegal oral sex that they've been experiencing for all this time.

Damn. Just damn.
Now I'll have to scrape off my "When oral sex is outlawed, only outlaws will go down" bumper sticker.

Hopefully the court will now provide some guidelines for the eager low information voters on the difference between Sodomy and Oral Sex.

After reading some details about this case I can see why the cops wanted this guy off the street and threw the book at him. In a nutshell, what the 47 year old man did was ask a 17 year old girl to give him a BJ and have sex in a shed, but she refused. Then a few months later he filed a false police report saying that the 17 year old girl abducted him and sexually assaulted him by forcibly giving him a BJ against his will.
Referring to the odd disparity between the title and comments on this thread and the actual law change, hopefully the court will now provide some guidelines for the OP and the other eager low information voters on the difference between Sodomy and Oral Sex.
Next time Obama visits Virginia you'll be all set.
depends how you interpret it."Crimes Against Nature" <<<<------ That just reeks of theocracy. And we say religion isnt in our laws. pffftttt!!!!

i find it hard to see "ANY" religious context in
to me sodomy and oral sex is a natural human act and the government has no place in the bedroom..

religion was a big influence back in the 1800s. Esp. with laws.
Any thread, any topic, this dude has to talk about Obama. Are you sure this post isn't just you projecting? :lamo
Ah, poor baby - this is a politics site isn't it? Sorry to remind you about your vote for the disaster known as Obama - I appreciate that you just wish people would forget you got conned into voting for the fool a second time, but that doesn't mean the rest of us aren't going to constantly remind you.
So try to toughen up a bit, look at your collection of Cabbage Patch Dolls and Betamax players and contemplate a time when you might stop making the wrong choices over and over again.
