Despite heavy reliance on precedent and reluctance to throw out/overturn past decisions, justices are not completely inflexible and do tend to change and evolve with the times. This was seen in the decision of Lawrence v. Texas decision made by the Court.
Lawrence v. Texas (2003), is a landmark decision of the U.S. Supreme Court in which the Court ruled that most sanctions of criminal punishment for consensual, adult non-procreative sexual activity (commonly referred to as sodomy laws) are unconstitutional. The Court reaffirmed the concept of a "right to privacy" that earlier cases, had found the U.S. Constitution provides, even though it is not explicitly enumerated. It based its ruling on the notions of personal autonomy to define one's own relationships and of American traditions of non-interference with private sexual decisions between consenting adults.
