More from the party of freedom and less government  

 

ichigan is one of the last states to keep an "anti-sodomy" law on the books, which criminalizes oral and anal sex -- most states dropped theirs when the Supreme Court ruled that law like these are unconstitutional.

Michigan's anti-sodomy law also bans bestiality, lumping together sex between consenting humans and humans who have sex with animals. State Republican Senator Rick Jones has introduced an updated animal cruelty law, SB-0219, which is part of a package of laws aimed at protecting animals from abuse. But it keeps intact the language that bans oral and anal sex between humans.

The bill reads, in part: "A person who commits the abominable and detestable crime against nature either with mankind or with any animal is guilty of a felony" -- that felony is punishable by 15 years in prison.

Jones says he kept the language intact because he thought that his fellow lawmakers and his constituents would have blocked the animal rights reforms if the bill addressed the rights of humans.

The bill has passed the Michigan senate.

"The minute I cross that line and I start talking about the other stuff, I won’t even get another hearing. It’ll be done," Jones (photo, above) said. "Nobody wants to touch it. I would rather not even bring up the topic, because I know what would happen. You’d get both sides screaming and you end up with a big fight that’s not needed because it’s unconstitutional."

Jones added that he believes the only way to repeal the sodomy ban would be a bill striking all unconstitutional laws from the state's books.

"But if you focus on it, people just go ballistic," he said. "If we could put a bill in that said anything that’s unconstitutional be removed from the legal books of Michigan, that’s probably something I could vote for, but am I going to mess up this dog bill that everybody wants? No."

Is it even possible to get head from an animal or to perform anal sex on one? Good luck with that.

 

Which reminds me of an Amish joke.

 

Enos and Ezekiel were returning from working in the fields when Ezekiel spied a sheep with its head stuck in the fence. "Watch this!" exclaimed Ezekiel as he ran over to the hapless sheep, pulled down his pants, and proceeded to violate the poor animal. When he finished he came back and told Enos that it was now his turn. "Oh I don't do that kind of stuff Ezekiel" claimed Enos. After much cajoling on the part of Ezekiel, Enos finally relented, went to the fence, pulled down his pants, and stuck his head in the fence.

Good Lord! Remove all the unconstitutional laws in Michigan! That would be awful!

 

How could our current government operate without those laws?

 

Thank goodness our government cares enough to dictate what we do in the privacy of our own homes.

 

They could be wasting their time fixing the damage they've done poisoning the populace or fixing the roads. At least our Victorian sensibilities are safe.
