Folks, we finally made it to a Thursday, but well, yesterday, on Wednesday, the leftist

media discovered that Ted Cruz, when he was Solicitor General of Texas, argued against the

notion that there is a constitutional right to masturbation.

Seriously.

This troubles them greatly because this is what they do in their spare time, but is there

any substance to the actual complaint?

Not if you know how to read, or if you've ever read the Constitution. In 2004, distributors of

dildos in Texas attempted to challenge a state law outlawing sale and promotion of obscene

devices according to David Korn of Mother Jones. It said, a law in the books, it said,

you can't publicly sell sex toys. In my own personal view,

and I would guess this is probably Cruz's view to, this is a silly law. Silliness, however,

does not mean something is unconstitutional. There are lots of silly laws, including laws that say,

for example, that biological men should be allowed to go to pee in women's bathrooms.

Silliness is not a constitutional concern.

It's a political one. In other words, you don't want a bad law. Don't elect bad politicians.

The Constitution doesn't have anything to say about stupid laws. Well, the plaintiffs in this

particular case, they claimed that the law violated their constitutional right to privacy.

It's a right that doesn't exist in the Constitution. It certainly does

not govern public sale of marketable goods. There is no constitutional right to pleasure yourself,

okay? It wasn't in there. And it's not there for a reason. A federal judge ruled for Texas,

saying there was no federal constitutional right to buying products to help you pleasure yourself.

This case was then appealed to a panel of the Fifth Circuit.
