If I sodomize you with a rotary air hammer and hate you - is your ass going to be any more sore than if I sodomized you with a rotary air hammer and sort of liked you?
Nope. Safe bet your ass feels exactly the same. No further harm is caused by hate.
It' s just a thought.
Your Supremes ruled that enhanced penalties for hate crimes are not punishing thought, therefore these are not thought crimes (much in the same way that SC rulings have help enshrine the right to own guns).
Furthermore, it has been determined that lesser courts may consider motivation when determining penalties. Thus, you taking a rotary hammer to your boyfriend’s bumhole may or may not be a crime, and if it IS a crime, your punishment may vary depending on why you engaged in this particular kink.
