Lawmakers have become immature as 5 year olds and their thinking processes are totally not working.

So, physical sex with 16 years olds ok, but sending them a photo of genetalia, which they can effortlessly obtain on their own, is illegal. Check.

The government is a cesspool of contradictory, non-sensical laws. Here’s a favorite example: To over throw the government is illegal, however, in case you need to, your right to own a gun is protected, unless, of course, the government screws you out of that right. Then you’re eff’d.

This ruling is bizzaro! Not one single State Supreme Court Justice ruled correctly, or event noticed that these laws (sexting and consensual sex) are actually conflicting laws. This one is worth watching if this guy’s attorneys will move the case on appeal up the ladder.
