Yep hmmmmmmmmmm

I'm thinking of someone in law enforcement that has been charged with enforcing the law while being guilty of violating this ancient statute. Guess he will be relieved.

Oh, j1c2kp, don't leave yourself open to an easy rejoinder on UtD. I'm trying to maintain decorum even as numerous jokes about your "hmmmmmmmmmm" comment whiz in my mind.

Legislators often file bills to conform state statutes to court rulings. In this case, it should have been done before the Lawrence ruling (and subsequent NC Court of Appeals rulings), but finally, it's being done.

You'll soon be able to go "hmmmmmmmmm" in the privacy of your own home without fear of police dragging you away on this ancient charge as they did to an innocent Wake County citizen last year.
