Cohabitation law struck down

Yesterday a N.C. Superior Court judge declared the state's 200-year-old law against cohabitation to be unconstitutional. Read this article in the Raleigh News & Observer to learn more.

Believe it or not, this ancient law has been used to prosecute about a dozen state residents over the last decade. A few conservative local leaders are complaining about the decision and attributing it to "activist judges."

It's refreshing to see state government retreat from private homes.
