Hearing Nothing at the moment.
News flash for Michiganders: Think twice before having that affair:
D'oh! Off to the Stony Lonesome for the Attorney General!
Apparently no one in Michigan is actually intending to prosecute adulterers for criminal sexual conduct (unless they're actually engaging in what was previously understood as criminal sexual conduct at the time), but it would still be enough to make me nervous. And I actually wonder if some particularly conservative and/or ambitious prosecutor wouldn't try to prosecute someone in this manner -- after all, if the court says that's the implication of the law in the state, then it is, at least until (and if) they're overruled by the state's Supreme Court. Interesting times, indeed.

News flash for Michiganders: Think twice before having that affair:
In a ruling sure to make philandering spouses squirm, Michigan's second-highest court says that anyone involved in an extramarital fling can be prosecuted for first-degree criminal sexual conduct, a felony punishable by up to life in prison.
"We cannot help but question whether the Legislature actually intended the result we reach here today," Judge William Murphy wrote in November for a unanimous Court of Appeals panel, "but we are curtailed by the language of the statute from reaching any other conclusion."
"Technically," he added, "any time a person engages in sexual penetration in an adulterous relationship, he or she is guilty of CSC I," the most serious sexual assault charge in Michigan's criminal code. The ruling is especially awkward for Attorney General Mike Cox... In November 2005, Cox confessed to an adulterous relationship.
D'oh! Off to the Stony Lonesome for the Attorney General!

As someone who was cheated on after 23 years of marriage, and now sadly divorced, I'd like to see the cheaters wear the ole "Scarlet A" like in the old days, and be shunned.

I remember Howard Stern once tried to get Frank Gifford arrested for Adultery when the Giff was banging that stewardess.
