I hate to be a one note Johnny, but would you explain to me why contraceptives are constitutionally protected by the provacy rights under the due process clause, but vibrators are not? If we had a blank slate, no Griswold, no Roe, no cases granting praviacy rights in sexual matters, maybe you would be right, but we don't. The 11th Cir, flies in the face of clear and long established constitutional law.

I guess it doesn't sound to me like that's what the court said; they seemed to imply that they thought the law was silly, but that striking it down via a constitutional challenge wasn't gonna cut it. Which I guess I'm okay with.

It's really the legislature that feels that Alabamians don't have the right to purchase adult toys, right?
