1. A man on probation from a CP possession conviction kept a diary that contained fantasy descriptions of brutal CP acts. He was charged with possession of CP for the material in his diary -- stuff he wrote himself and didn't distribute to anyone.
2. Texas supreme court has upheld laws outlawing homosexual sex acts -- acts which are perfectly legal when engaged in with a member of the opposite sex (e.g. anal and oral sex). The claim is that the laws help maintain community standards of decency.
I'm appalled by both decisions. The first seems to be the same as charging someone for what they are thinking.
The second raises all sorts of interesting possibilities. For example, what if a guy gets blown by a TS whore -- but the guy thinks that "he" is a "she"?
I would hope the decision would be overturned by the US supreme court, but with hypocrites like Clarence voting against anything that smacks of personal freedoms, the decision could come down the other way.
