        @BradMossEsq @Snowden @vicenews you can do better than that, counsellor. Bowers v Hardwick in 2002 was a court ruling that "still stood."

        @declanm @Snowden @vicenews So? Until it was overturned it was standing precedent. You can't prosecute someone for committing a lawful act.

        @declanm @Snowden @vicenews That's how the legal cookie crumbles. You can't indict a USG official for doing what the courts say is lawful.
