if Lawrence v. Texas were to be overturned, it would be illegal for gay people to have intimate relations in Florida, Georgia, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Michigan, Mississippi, North Carolina, Oklahoma, South Carolina and Texas.

Why the fuck is it that when a law is found to be unconstitutional, the state(s) are allowed to keep the law on the books but just can't enforce it? I'd think part of such a decision would include a requirement to repeal the offending law.
