Will someone ask McCain about Lawrence or will he be allowed to continue speaking in code about sodomy laws?

Earlier this week I wrote a post entitled "John McCain promises to re-criminalize homosexuality" here at TBP. I emailed a few listserves I'm on about it, it got a few links, and I cross-posted it to a few other non-LGBT centered blogs. The reactions were interesting.
In general, the comments in the LGBT forums I posted it in agreed, and those in non-LGBT forums thought it was overly fear-mongering. Here's a typical example:
"those are just the four most liberal justices.
those four voted the right way in a lot of cases that fundamentalists do not like, including Lawrence.
so I don't think it was a dog whistle about sodomy, abortion, or any other specific issue.
he just wants to get rid of one or two of those four to create a conservative majority on the court."
