No ben-wa balls in 'Bama

The Supreme Court yesterday refused to hear a challenge to Alabama's ban on the sale of sex toys. And what do you want to bet that Clarence Thomas breathed a sigh of relief over that particular turn of events? ("Oh, come on guys. Let's not go there. I don't need the aggravation.'')
So it's illegal to buy sex toys in Alabama, but not illegal to own them. You just have to cross state lines to get them, which probably makes returning faulty merchandise a real pain in the...neck. A slow leak in the blow-up doll and it turns into a day trip.
Look I understand that Alabama is thick with the sort of Baptists who are against sex because it might lead to dancing. But these are also red-state folks who want less government and capitalism up the wazoo.
If someone can make a buck selling a vibrator, legal everywhere but in Alabama, why not let the free market work? If the citizens of Alabama take umbrage at battery-powered pleasure, fine. But some folks might want a little technological kickstart and who can blame them.
The Supreme Court wants to let states into our bedrooms (or the living room, if the kids are out of the house) and something seems wrong with that.
