Ooh snap.
Last week U.S.
Chief Justice John Roberts denied a request by Virginia Attorney General, the
virulently anti-gay and yet same-sex obsessed, Ken Cuccinelli that a lower
court ruling overturning Virginia’s sodomy law be put on hold while the Supreme
Court decides whether to hear Cuccinelli’s appeal; Roberts, acting on behalf of
the full court, did not issue an explanation for his denial.
It was just
dee-nied.
Cuccinelli had asked
the Supreme Court to put a stay on the Fourth Circuit Court’s ruling shortly
after he filed a petition asking the Supreme Court to hear his appeal; SCOTUS
is expected to decide later this year, or early next year, whether to hear the
case, and if it decides against hearing it, the Fourth Circuit Appeals Court
ruling remains in place.
And Cuccinelli gets
pissy.
It all started when the Fourth Circuit overturned a felony conviction by a Virginia
judge in the case of William Scott MacDonald, a 47-year-old man accused of soliciting
oral sex from a 17-year-old woman. Although no sex took place, MacDonald, had
been charged with soliciting someone to commit a sexual act that his attorneys
argued was no longer illegal.
The Fourth Circuit Appeals Court agreed with his
attorneys, ruling 3-1 that the 2003 Supreme Court decision in Lawrence v.
Texas invalidated the Virginia Crimes Against Nature law as unconstitutional, thereby
preventing it from being enforced.
Cuccinelli, who likes to shove his head into everyone’s sexual business
because he’s obsessed with other people’s sexual activities, had argued the Lawrence
decision did not apply to sexual relations between an adult and a minor—for the
record, the age of consent in Virginia is 15—and he has stated in political ads
for his campaign to become Virginia’s next governor, that the outdated, unconstitutional,
none of your damn business, sodomy law is needed to protect children from
sexual predators.
He seems to forget
that there are already laws, even in Virginia, that allow for the prosecution of
adults who engage in sex with minors.
Ken Cuccinelli. Same-sex sodomy obsessed gubernatorial candidate approved this message.
ALLEGEDLY.
Dude needs to get laid, but then again maybe that's part of the problem?
ReplyDeletePart of me is hoping he gets elected, because this guy is so far right of conservative that he'll get recalled or damage the Republican Party in Virginia as to hobble it. The other half of me hopes that he get, not just a loss in the election, a humiliating defeat.
ReplyDeleteSouthern Virginia may vote for him, but I think that Northern Virginia will turn out in droves to vote for McAulliffe.
15! ak! But if that is your law then you follow it.
ReplyDeletethis asshat needs to lose BIG TIME...and get laid by a handsome gay man.
