The Alabama Supreme court has upheld a ban making the sale & distribution of sex toys a crime within the state. Come on people, they sell guns at the corner store. Not to mention you so call conservative value people are doing the most heinous things behind closed door. Just ask Ted Haggart!

At the very least the argument could be made that sex toys promote healthy long term relationships. Know why?

Because your gonna get bored with the same ol’ thing mane! We waste too much government resource and court time on such frivolous issues when SO MUCH more is at stake.

Devices “Useful Primarily for the Stimulation of Human Genital Organs” Going to the Supreme Court?

Friday, the Alabama Supreme Court upheld (by a 7-2 vote, in 1568 Montgomery Highway, Inc. v. City of Hoover) a state statute that criminalizes, among other things, “knowingly distribut[ing] … any device designed or marketed as useful primarily for the stimulation of human genital organs for any thing of pecuniary value.” (The “for any thing of pecuniary value,” I take it, modifies “knowingly distribut[ing].”)

It’s quite possible that the issue will now go to the Supreme Court. There was already a split on whether such statutes are constitutional in the wake of Lawrence v. Texas. The Eleventh Circuit upheld the Alabama statute in Williams v. Morgan (2007), but last year the Fifth Circuit struck down a similar Texas statute in Reliable Consultants, Inc. v. Earle. Texas decided not to ask the U.S. Supreme Court to review the Fifth Circuit decision, despite the circuit split. But presumably the losers in the Alabama case will likely ask for review, and the split creates a decent chance of the Court’s agreeing to hear the case. Last year, when I was assuming that Texas would indeed ask the Court to review the Reliable Consultants decision.
