Montana's house committee struck down a bill that would deem Montana's current law against sodomy unconstitutional this week. I am a bit confused as to how this law is still in effect?

Apparently the law defines "deviant sexual conduct" as any type of sexual contact or sexual intercourse between two people of the same sex or with an animal.

But Gryzcan v. State deemed this law unconstitutional over 13 years ago. How is it still in effect? I don't really know enough about the process to grasp it. To me, it would make sense that if the supreme court decides that a law is unconstitutional.... it should no longer be in effect?

Could someone explain this for me?

Thanks!

You cannot understand people that are blindly driven by their religious ideology. Montana's legislature, primarily the Montana House, has moved further to the right not only on this issue, but also others. In my forum post of March 8, I observed that a Montana representative introduced a law stating that global warming is a natural occurrence that "is beneficial to the welfare and business climate of Montana." Ha! A University of Montana Climate professor descibed it as ridiculous...We really will be the laughing stock of the country.

Hey, and another wants to create an official state militia. As the state’s Human Right Network notes, there’s no question who will gravitate to these unregulatedgroups — “anti-government extremists.”

Montana politics is getting wackier.
