I understand that you think this unjust, but the law is on my side.

Which law would that be? In which clause or article of the Constitution did the authors and representatives of the states give over to Congress the power to control and/or prohibit pornography in their state?

[Zon]

You perform self-exposure just fine on your own. Your bias has you blind to your dishonesty. It's so transparent.

[timm22]

There are many things the law does not permit you to do to your own body. I understand that you think this unjust, but the law is on my side.

The law permits abortion, therefore, women truly do have the "right" to choose.

Or maybe the law is wrong sometimes?

[Tailgunner Joe]

The Tenth amendment for starters.

[Long Cut]

"Just like the left, when they have nothing to say they just attack and smear."

Unlike you, of course, who has done ZERO but call others "whores", "anarchists", etc., and have given NO justification or evidence for your own mad assertions, like the one about Christians being the only ones who will liberate Iran.

Watch out for those strippers, Joe...they're leading you astray!!

[Lady Eileen]

"My son, be attentive to my wisdom; incline your ear to my understanding; that you may keep discretion, and your lips may guard knowledge.  For the lips of an immoral  woman drip honey, and her speech is smoother than oil, but in the end she is bitter as wormwood, sharp as a two-edged sword. Her feet go down to death; her steps follow the path to Sheol; she does not ponder the path of life; her ways wander, and she does not know it.

"And now, O sons, listen to me, and do not depart from the words of my mouth.  Keep your way far from her, and do not go near the door of her house,  lest you give your honor to others and your years to the merciless,  lest aliens take their fill of your wealth, and your labors go to the house of a foreigner."...[Proverbs 5:1-10]

[Tailgunner Joe]

Is a woman who pays for an abortion guaranteed a dead fetus?

Should women be allowed to sell their murdered fetuses?

[Tailgunner Joe]

You defend whoredom. I'm simply pointing out this fact. It's no smear.

[jimt]

From your same source:

All attempts to delude the people, or to abuse their understanding by exercise of the pretended arts of witchcraft, conjuration, inchantment, or sorcery or by pretended prophecies, shall be punished by ducking and whipping at the discretion of a jury, not exceeding 15. stripes.

Thomas Jefferson, A Bill for Proportioning Crimes and Punishments

Spot on - let's follow that one as well !

[Long Cut]

"I am ready to meet my judgement."

Sure. Guys like you are NEVER around when the butcher's bill comes due. Just like other fanatics...like Arafat, bin Laden, etc...somehow, when the battle starts, they dissappear and send others to die or be killed.

Sell it to someone else.

If you want to be honest about clamoring about the First Amendment, then ANYTHING can theoretically be construed as "free speech" -- including murder and rape and threats.

I suppose someone could use murder or rape as a form of speech, but those activities could still be restricted. That's because murder, rape, and threats of violence violate the rights of individuals. Your right to free speech does not extend to violating the rights of others.

However, a porno violates no one's rights, so it can't be compared to murder or rape.

[Long Cut]

I'm pointing out the fact that you're a fascistic statist. No smear.

Murder and rape are not speech or the press.
Construing actions as 'speech' is another of the evils of interpreting the Constitution.

[little jeremiah]

I never think about porn unless and until I notice a FR thread about it.

[Poohbah]

Which law would that be? In which clause or article of the Constitution did the authors and representatives of the states give over to Congress the power to control and/or prohibit pornography in their state?

The Tenth amendment for starters.

Congratulations, Joe! You just failed Constitutional Law 101, unless you're a flaming liberal who thinks that the Tenth Amendment grants enormous power to the Federal government at the expense of the several states.

[Tailgunner Joe]

You use the word fascist the way a commie does.

[Long Cut]

And you toss around fire and brimstone like an Islamic terrorist does.

Gee, Joe, with your debating tactics, I don't know what I'll do...

"You use the word fascist the way a commie does."

ROFLMAO!!!!

[timm22]

Should women be allowed to sell their murdered fetuses?

No. The fetus is not part of their body, it is a unique human.

[tacticalogic]

Congratulations, Joe! You just failed Constitutional Law 101

Considering the article is about the USSC striking down a federal law, I think that's a pretty fair assesment.

[Long Cut]

"... a porno violates no one's rights, so it can't be compared to murder or rape."

Oh, but it violates THEIR "rights" to be free of temptation. Y'see, because THEY doubt themselves in the presence of smut, OTHERS who can must be punished.
