Another structural problem for the Scalia view is that states "formulated their provisos in different ways, some including acts of '
licentiousness' or infringements upon the laws of morality, some including disturbance of the religious practice of others, and one including acts contrary to the '[h]appiness of society.'"

One may quibble here and there with Cobb's casting choices, but he's the star of the show, portraying Sir John Falstaff with delightfully leering
