Hey Leagl...Bill Frist says you're a criminal in your own home. You gonna take that? I know this seems like a topic for politics, but since he has a "comb-over" I thought it would be appropriate here. But move it if you'd like.
WASHINGTON, June 30 — The Senate majority leader said Sunday he supports a proposed constitutional amendment to ban homosexual marriage in the United States.
SEN. BILL FRIST, R-Tenn., said the Supreme Court’s decision last week on gay sex threatens to make the American home a place where criminality is condoned.
The court on Thursday threw out a Texas law that prohibited acts of sodomy between homosexuals in a private home, saying that such a prohibition violates the defendants’ privacy rights under the Constitution. The ruling invalidated the Texas law and similar statutes in 12 other states.
“I have this fear that this zone of privacy that we all want protected in our own homes is gradually — or I’m concerned about the potential for it gradually being encroached upon, where criminal activity within the home would in some way be condoned,” Frist told ABC’s “This Week.”
“And I’m thinking of — whether it’s prostitution or illegal commercial drug activity in the home — ... to have the courts come in, in this zone of privacy, and begin to define it gives me some concern.”
Asked whether he supported an amendment that would ban any marriage in the United States except a union of a man and a woman, Frist said: “I absolutely do, of course I do.
Do you really need to amend the constitution?
