If Governor Sean Parnell's pick for the Senate Judiciary Committee has his way I might be looking at a little jail time.

From ADN:

Gov. Sean Parnell's appointee for the panel that nominates state judges testified Wednesday that he would like to see Alaskans prosecuted for having sex outside of marriage.

The candidate, Don Haase of Valdez, also admitted under questioning by members of the Senate Judiciary Committee that his official resume failed to disclose his leadership role in Eagle Forum Alaska, which advocates for social conservative issues. He most recently was president of the organization, but resigned when he learned of his nomination, he said.

Haase -- pronounced "hays" -- has done electrical and mechanical design work at the trans-Alaska pipeline terminal in Valdez since 2000, first working for Veco, then for CH2M Hill. He ran for the Legislature in 2010 but came in second in the Republican primary to Rep. Eric Feige in what was nearly a three-way tie.

His resume listed such extracurricular activities as his roles in producing and starring in local plays for tourists and being a member of the Valdez Snowmachine Club. But it made no reference to the Eagle Forum Alaska. In response to questions from Sen. Joe Paskvan, D-Fairbanks, Haase said he became active in the organization about 2005, eventually taking on responsibility for its blog. "I was only president for a couple of months. I resigned as soon as I got the call that this came up," Haase said.

He said he didn't think it was important enough to merit mention in his resume. He didn't list his church membership either, he said.

One blog post on the Eagle Forum Alaska site praised efforts at criminalizing adultery in Michigan, and Paskvan asked Haase if he thought it should be a felony in Alaska.

"I don't see that that would rise to the level of a felony," Haase said.

Paskvan: "Do you believe it should be a crime?"

Haase: "Yeah, I think it's very harmful to have extramarital affairs. It's harmful to children, it's harmful to the spouse who entered a legally binding agreement to marry the person that's cheating on them."

Paskvan: "What about premarital affairs -- should that be a crime?"

Haase: "I think that would be up to the voters certainly. If it came before (the state) as a vote, I probably would vote for it ... I can see where it would be a matter for the state to be involved with because of the spread of disease and the likelihood that it would cause violence. I can see legitimate reasons to push that as a crime."

Surely this idiot is screwing with us, right?

Obviously it would be impossible to pass a law in this day and age making it illegal for two consenting adults to make the beast with two backs, regardless of whether or not one, or both, of those backs were supposed to be in a committed relationship.

Besides I thought that these Teabaggers were all freaked about instituting Sharia Law in America.  Which countries do they think still have these primitive kinds of laws on the books?  Hell even Turkey was not willing to go this far!

That is not to say that there are not places in America where old anti-adultery laws still remain on the books, such as in Alabama, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Massachusetts, Michigan, North Dakota, and Oklahoma. (Wha...Massachusetts?  I did not see that one coming!)

It is almost impossible to believe that there are still Cotton Mather wannabes like this Hasse guy around who believe they have the right to dictate morality to their fellow citizens. What's next, will he want to stone people who dare to work on the Sabbath?

Well that is left over Palin poodle Sean Parnell for you, dragging Alaska back to the days before the Age of Enlightenment one political appointee at a time.
