Comments on: 2 Judges Say Sex w/ Dead People OK http://www.dailyscoff.com/?p=154 ... just turn your head and scoff Fri, 13 Aug 2010 00:30:11 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 By: J.

Gravelle Sun, 13 Jul 2008 18:26:33 +0000 http://www.dailyscoff.com/?p=154#comment-164 It's hardly judicial activism to say that the illegality of raping people extends to dead people. Comparing the explicit right of gun ownership to the implicit illegality of rape is beyond "apples to oranges". At least those are both fruit. I don't fret that my right to posthumous intercourse has been infringed upon, but I respect your right to do so...

Yup, that's certainly one way to go about establishing laws. We just shouldn't complain the next time one of the "Law givers in black" decide to take a look at the impact of a comma and conclude that we have enough laws and somewhere in them, nasty things like guns should have been eliminated.

Phhht. Too busy typing to read.

The two dissenting argued that the law was not written to apply to necrophilia and they were correct.

The two dissenting argued that the law was not written to apply to necrophilia and they were correct. If we're OK with laws being written by the judges with things we happen to agree with, we should not be surprised when they do the same things for things we don't like. Even the WI legislature thought the law as written was a problem. It would be a good idea to read the opinions before offering your own.

Should take about five minutes for the Legislature to pass a law making sex with dead people illegal irrespective of circumstance. If they're interested in creating such a law, that is.
