Does a government have the right to tell its people what they can and can't do in the bedroom?

U.S. Supreme Court's ruling in Bowers v. Hardwick upheld Georgia's law against oral and anal sex, under which Hardwick had been arrested. Most states, however, including Georgia have repealed their sodomy laws. In fact, Georgia's own Supreme Court struck down the state's so-called sodomy law, noting, "We cannot think of any other activity that reasonable persons would rank as more private and more deserving of protection from government interference than consensual, private, adult sexual activity."\n\nSo the answer is, "Yes," but most of the time they won't and shouldn't. It is up to us as conscientious voters to make sure that remains true.

It's my country. I have the freedom to disagree with it if I don't agree with it's policies. I have the right to vocalize my disagreement. I have the right to form groups that challenge the government. I have the right to run for office, and support candidates that run for office. \n\nI am an American. I have the right to challenge and question my government. That's what freedom is about. Questioning authority. If you can't question those in power, you don't live in a free society.

Basicly, we have no rights left. The government can take away all of our privacy, and it's "legal" under this bill.

If we allow the government to alter the constitution to protect us from the terrorist then the terrorist have one, they have accomplished what they have set out to do and that is to alter our live to live in terror that it might happen again. So I do not think the government has a right to take away my right to privacy in the name of fighting terror.

Because government people think they can do what they want, and usually do.

No, your right still exists.  But the rules of decency apply here.  Personally, I don't want to hear indecent, offensive stuff and most others don't as well.

The Supreme Court ruled this year that YES the government has the right to boot you from your home for any reason the government deems as in the publics best interest.\n\nThere are a lot of states attempting to put laws on the books to stop this, vote for those lawmakers that do not believe that higher tax revenues can equal stealing your home.

It depends.  Some things need to be done but people won't let it happen.  Other things people want but the gov't doesn't do it.

I agree with you. We are on a slippery slope of governmental control of the most mundane daily activities if we let the government dictate what is or is not allowed. They government does not have the right to dictate who one can marry, what choices I can make with my body or control my choices!

As a fiscal conservative I think is an intrusion of the federal government to decide what sexual act is illegal. What goes behind closed doors between consenting adults is nobody's business. Who is the government to decide that butt-fucking is wrong?

According to the Christian religion it is wrong. Jesus said specifically not to say any bad words without a qualification that being in the bedroom is ok. Now, we have a free will but He said not to do it.

The concept that people have this *right* is an ethical question and I support the position that all have this right.\n\nWhether people actually have it is a legal question based on the laws of their country. China, for example, has government policies in place that restrict the information the inhabitants can freely receive.\n\nIn India, there are domestic rights organizations that are vigilant in protecting and preserving the citizens perceived rights including that of information. (1)\n\nEvery country has a segment that would restrict information and any of the other qualities that are considered *rights*. Regardless of political party there are essentially two kinds of people; those who wish controls and those who do not want controls.
