No dildo for you!

A federal court has upheld an Alabama law banning the sale of sex toys in the state.

So, let me get this straight (again, pun intended). There is a "right to privacy" somewhere in the constitution that guarantees the right to abortion, but there is no such right to privacy if you want to go down to the adult bookstore and buy a "device that can be sexually stimulating?"

"If the people of Alabama in time decide that a prohibition on sex toys is misguided, or ineffective, or just plain silly, they can repeal the law and be finished with the matter," the court said.

"On the other hand, if we today craft a new fundamental right by which to invalidate the law, we would be bound to give that right full force and effect in all future cases including, for example, those involving adult incest, prostitution, obscenity, and the like."

...

Sherri Williams, an adult novelty retailer who filed the lawsuit with seven other women and two men, called the decision "depressing."

"I'm just very disappointed that courts feel Alabamians don't have the right to purchase adult toys. It's just ludicrous," said Williams, who lives in Florida and owns Pleasures stores in Huntsville and Decatur. "I intend to pursue this."

The state law bans only the sale of sex toys, not their possession, the court said, and it doesn't regulate other items including condoms or virility drugs. "The Alabama statute proscribes a relatively narrow bandwidth of activity," U.S. Circuit Judge Stanley F. Birch Jr. wrote.

It's just this type of idiocy that serves as a reminder that activist judges are a bad idea on the far left and the far right.

And where is Johnny Walker Red on this? Now he can't go out and buy his weekly sexual device.
