17 years ago, that married couples can't be regulated as a matter of
substantive due process in their personal sexual expression in the 
home.
That means that the state of the law on the books in the 19th century
can't be the deciding factor.

["Justice" Scalia]: They conceded it. I haven't conceded it."
