Supreme Court Rejects Texas Sex-Toy Case
Oct 02 11:03 AM US/Eastern



The Supreme Court refused Monday to consider whether a Texas law making it a crime to promote sex toys shaped like sexual organs is unconstitutional.

An adult bookstore employee in El Paso, Texas, sued the state after his arrest for showing two undercover officers a device shaped like a penis and telling the female officer the device would arouse and gratify her.

The employee, Ignacio Sergio Acosta, says a Texas law outlawing the manufacture, marketing or dissemination of an "obscene device" including those shaped like sex organs is unconstitutional because it prevents individuals from using such devices, violating their right to sexual privacy.

Wouldn't it also violate free expression?
It would appear to, but Texas doesn't really believe in the Constitution, something about not being a party to its original drafting or something like that. Anyway they have always had a problematic relationship to the document, which may explain some of Goerge Bush's own antagonism and willingness to pitch most of it.
