To consensual sodomy in the privacy of a home was:

Accepted Answer

The right of homosexual adults to consensual sodomy in the privacy of a home was struck down in Bowers v. Hardwick. The Supreme Court ruled that there was no constitutional protection for acts of sodomy, even in the privacy of one's own home, and that states could criminalize such behavior. This decision was later overturned in 2003 by Lawrence v. Texas.

Question 2

Lawrence v. TX (2003; involving TX homosexual sodomy crime) overruled and made invalid the US Supreme Court decision in:

Accepted Answer

Lawrence v. TX overruled and made invalid the US Supreme Court decision in Bowers v. Hardwick, which had criminalized consensual sodomy. Hurley v. Irish American GLIB dealt with the right of GLIB sexuality groups to march in a private parade, and Oncale v. Sundowner Offshore Service dealt with sexual harassment, but neither case related directly to the criminalization of sodomy. Therefore, the correct choice is A.

Accepted Answer

A bona fide occupational qualification (BFOQ) is an exception to employment discrimination laws that allows an employer to hire employees on the basis of a protected characteristic if that characteristic is necessary for the job. In the criminal justice field, there may be valid job-related requirements that are necessary to normal operations that would exclude persons with physical or mental disabilities. The key is that the requirement must be job-related and necessary to the normal operation of the position.

Question 5

Pennsylvania Dept. of Corrections v. Yeskey (1998, inmate with hypertension barred from boot camp) decided that:

Accepted Answer

The correct answer is:
a) the inmate can go to boot camp; Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) unambiguously extends to state prison inmates
In the case of Pennsylvania Dept. of Corrections v. Yeskey (1998), the Supreme Court ruled that the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) applies to state prisons and that inmates with disabilities are protected under this law. The case involved Ronald Yeskey, an inmate who was denied participation in a motivational boot camp program due to his hypertension. The Supreme Court held that the ADA's coverage is broad enough to encompass state prison inmates, and therefore Yeskey could not be barred from the boot camp solely on the basis of his disability.
