Because they're hypocrites, Michelle. Like the Bible and the Constitution, they cherry-pick the parts they agree with and ignore the ones they disagree with.

I think they allow putting sticks up their asses. Does that count?

The Republicans have been ruthlessly buggering Texas dry for the last twenty years; why would they need sex-toys?  Overkill, what?

Something else to remember: No Texas-elected judge is going to speak out against this and rectify the problem because their opponent in the next election will use this against them in the next election. In California, hey, no problem; but in anal-retentive Texas, a big problem.

I'm afraid I miss the context. Is the sex toy prohibition still being enforced? If so, any seller should be able get an injunction in federal court.

Oh, thank you! Thankyouverymuch! Yertookind! I'll be here 'til Tuesday! No on 8!

The 5th circuit decision became final on August 1st of this year.

After the decision, the state had 90 days to seek review in the U.S. Supreme Court. That gave them until yesterday. No sign of a cert petition being filed.

So now--today, actually--is it safe to say that the product can be purchased legally in Texas.
