Is it just me . . .

or does it make anybody else laugh that a guy suing to have Utah's sodomy law declared unconstitutional would be from a town called American Fork? Here's a link to the 10th Circuit's opinion, affirming the District Court's dismissal of the case for lack of standing. A decision which is correct, but which simply constitutes another to throw on the pile of, "What do we have these laws for anyway?" Especially if, as the 10th Circuit notes, in light of the Supreme Court's recent Lawrence decision, no state is going to enforce them? For mildly entertaining descriptions of other silly laws, see dumblaws.com. I have no idea if any of these are really on the books, as the site doesn't provide citations, but hey, go ahead and try to make a citizen's arrest. Let me know how it works out.

I discovered the 10th Circuit's opinion on an excellent blog for those interested in law (the exciting kind, not the stuff I do) - How Appealing. Check it out some time.
