[Utmost Certainty]

Asking for a consistent definition of what’s considered ‘obscene’, is hardly using the language of the Left. I think it’s patently unreasonable to leave it as such an open-ended question. If left open-ended, then next thing you know, criticisms of Islam will be considered ‘obscene’.

If local communities want to arrive at a consensus about what’s obscene and what isn’t, that’s up to them. But this should absolutely not be the jurisdiction of the Federal Government to dictate for 300+ million people.

Yes it is. That is precisely the argument they used to overturn obscenity laws. But the argument is easily defeated by very simple definitions that I bet we could get 80% of the people to agree with.

If local communities want to arrive at a consensus about what’s obscene and what isn’t, that’s up to them. But this should absolutely not be the jurisdiction of the Federal Government to dictate for 300+ million people.

The internet assures that this most certainly IS a federal issue.
