SENSITIVE LANGUAGE ADVISORY: The lyrics in the Romanovsky & Phillips "Sodomy Song" in our 2003 SCOTUS ruling flashback include: "Only an asshole would care what goes into our assholes and who puts it there." This line is heard in the transition music at about 3:16 into the segment, and again in the segment outro music at about 13:48.
