When they outlaw selling sex toys, only outlaws will sell sex toys:

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. - A federal appeals court Wednesday upheld a 1998 Alabama law banning the sale of sex toys in the state, ruling the Constitution doesn't include a right to sexual privacy.

In a 2-1 decision overturning a lower court, a three-judge panel of the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals (news - web sites) said the state has a right to police the sale of devices that can be sexually stimulating.

Two comments. 1. The assertion that the Constitution doesn't cover sexual privacy is ridiculous. I'm sure that when Thomas Jefferson was sleeping with his slaves, he'd have probably disagreed.
2. Who decides what qualifies as a device that can be sexually stimulating? Can a porn shop sell fresh produce? What about that bottle of log cabin syrup? I could go on, but I won't. Because this blog is respectable, tasteful and mature.
