Alabama and their repressed genitalia

The fact that Alabama doesn't allow the sale of dildos in their pristine little state doesn't surprise me... what does is the circuit court's review of the law:

A divided three-judge panel of the Atlanta-based 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals disagreed. It said in a ruling last July that siding with the sex toy merchants could open the door to the legalization of undesirable sexual behavior such as prostitution.

"If the people of Alabama in time decide that prohibition on sex toys is misguided, or ineffective, or just plain silly, they can repeal the law and be finished with the matter," the court said.

"On the other hand, if we today craft a new fundamental right by which to invalidate the law, we would be bound to give that right full force and effect in all future cases including, for example, those involving adult incest, prostitution, obscenity, and the like."

What? Prostitution? Incest?!? Can someone explain the logic of that to me? Does Rick Santorum magically sit on the 11th Circuit Court or something?

And since when did Alabama care about incest anyways?
