The ACLU filed a brief yesterday supporting Republican Senator Larry Craig's bathroom antics. It cited a Minnesota Supreme Court ruling 38 years ago that found that people who have sex in closed stalls in public restrooms "have a reasonable expectation of privacy."
Of course, normal people had a reasonable expectation that the ACLU would take up this case, adding another chapter to their tome of perverse causes.
The reasonable expectation of privacy should cover only those activities that a public toilet is intended to accommodate. Sex is not one of them. We should all have a reasonable expectation when using a public restroom that we or our children will not be subjected to the bizarre noises and actions of rutting animals. Sometimes the noises accompanying the normal use of the facilities are unsettling enough as it is.
Leave it to the ACLU to be at the forefront of toilet related issues.
