"But there is no implication whatever that the protection can be limited to only books kept in a library."

Hah! That's what you think.

I took this to the Miller court and they said my amendment protected only those books that had some reasonable relationship to the preservation or efficiency of a well stocked library.

Subsequent courts have ruled that only people with library cards are allowed to keep and read these library books. Which only makes sense.

"Nor is there any implication that the government is responsible for creating libraries."

My amendment only protects well stocked public libraries. It does not protect community "book clubs".

Tell me. Which part of your amendment protects libraries. Where does it say the government can't prohibit them?
