The point was that U.S. Law is (or rather should be) based solely on the U.S. Constitution not South African (or any other country's) law. As to the South African Constitution being "way ahead" of the U.S. Constitution (or any other), that is purely subjective opinion. I'm glad you're proud of your Constitution. I find the U.S. Constitution to be far superior, but that is my subjective valuation. Holding up constitutional protections of sodomy as something good is something many people world wide would disagree with. When your Constitution is 220 years old, let us revisit this topic Stephan,

The Constitutional Court of South African for one had no problem in declaring anti-sodomy laws as unconstitutional (with no minority judgement in the vain of Scalia J) -this nearly a decade before Lawrence v Texas. So do have a look at South African jurisprudence-it might just sober you up!!
