Check out the Supremacy Clause http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supremacy_Clause http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supremacy_Clause "The supremacy of federal law over state law only applies if Congress is acting in pursuance of its constitutionally authorized powers." Congress does not have an authority to govern sexual conduct. Just because enforcement of sodomy laws has been unpopular long before 2003, doesn't mean they don't exist.

...wow. You really don't understand how the US legal system works, do you? Hint: The Supremacy Clause limits federal law; the product of the legislative branch. Lawrence v. Texas is court decision; the product of the judicial branch. That's like saying the second amendment requires the legalisation of marijuana because pot is a type of rifle. ><
