Does anyone know what happened to the case involving differential
punishment for statutory rape?  I must have missed it.

With Kennedy writing for 5 justices (and O'Connor concurring in the
judgment), the S. Ct. invalidated the Texas sodomy statute--and by
implication all other sodomy statutes.  The Court relies on substantive
due process and explicitly overrules Bowers.  Kennedy cites and relies
upon Casey and Romer, as well as Stevens' dissent in Bowers.  He suggest
that the history of sodomy regulation should not be understood as it was
in Bowers, but he then appears to adopt more of an evolving values approach.
