HOORAY!!

"A federal appeals court has overturned the Texas statute outlawing sex toy sales, leaving Alabama as the state with the strictest ban on such devices.

The 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that the Texas law making it illegal to sell or promote obscene devices, punishable by up to two years in jail, violated the Constitution's 14th Amendment on the right to privacy."

I fear Chisum will be heartbroken...

[seppes]

awesome!

[Barton Wilder]

Thanks! I appreciate the feedback.

This is why I love women in the legislature. Dangberg really makes Chesum look like the fool that he is.

[Barton Wilder]

Sadly, Danberg--a longtime, well-respected legislator--was ousted from office after Tom Delay and his minions "helped" redraw Texas congressional districts.

this is just like smoke shops... "we don't sell bongs... but we all these great water pipes you can buy! tobacco use only of course"

[Barton Wilder]

Good analysis. This is the reason that sex toy retailers in Texas resorted to the semantics approach to protect themselves from prosecution.

Another reason to avoid the over rated state of Texas.

[valkolakk]

Holy sheep. I have lived in Texas all of my 22 years (I guess that's not very long..) but wth I had no idea these kinds of things were on the books. I am more ashamed than ever of our lawmakers.

[ferretburger]

Isn't the name Chisum a bit obscene? He should do something about that.

[TheMusicalGiant]

Chisum is a fucking prude.

[tranurse]

as long as it is grown ups and everyone wants to be there, why is it our business what grown ups do in their bedrooms.

[facekoo]

This is what happens in your state when you let Religious Fanatics gerrymander.

[kungfuwookie]

As if I needed another reason to stay the fuck out of Texas.

[Michael Bay]

I love how the lady in the legislature just made the guy look like such a damned fool. It was like shooting fich in a barrel. I tell you they make some really stupid laws in Texas.

[hisbigal]

Demonstator model. Penal Codes. Mr jizzum, I mean, Chisum. You have to love all of the multiple entendres here. What a bunch of fucking fannies!!! God I miss Molly Ivins.
