I don't know. Common sense (mine, anyway!) says Yes. But legalities often don't follow my ideas of common-sense.

Do you see any reason a federal ban on pornography cannot be accomplished without adopting and reinforcing the liberal interpretation of "commerce among the several states"?

I will have to defer to you on this. What is the liberal interpretation of the commerce clause? I'm not as well-versed in the Constitution as you are, although I'm enjoying the bit of research I'm doing on it as I think about this thread.

But what about this subject? We didn't finish it, and I am interested in your opinion of the similarity between unwanted pornography on the web and indecent exposure. To refresh your memory:

I wrote: ...spam pornography on the internet is pretty much the same as indecent exposure, in that both are unasked-for.

And then you wrote: Are they similar enough that the govenrment's authority to ban one would also cover the other?
