Swingers Parties and Lawrence v. Texas

This story is interesting not just because it's about a guy who called his house "The Cherry Pit" and had swingers parties there every weekend. The comment by the NYU prof. is really interesting, because it suggests that group sex might not be protected by the constitution's right to privacy in the way that sex between two people now is, after Lawrence v. Texas. I can only hope that the proprietor of The Cherry Pit fights this all the way to the Supreme Court, just so I can see a courtroom sketch of Justice Roberts' face turning beet red as he tries to figure out how many people have to be involved in a sex act--and what they have to be doing--before it's no longer private, and later see how proud Thomas is of the fact that no one can read the Court's opinion in the case because all of the pages are stuck together.
