Which of the limited and enumerated powers of Congress covers having an “anti-porn task force”.

I understand how much libertarians despise the commerce clause, but it's still there.

If done at the State level this wouldn't be a problem - but not everything worth doing is worth having a Federal “task force” assigned to it.

Now if the libertarians were to confine their beloved pornography to within the individual states this would probably work, but they don't do that now do they.

It is not just those much reviled “libertarians” that despise an overly expansive reading of the commerce clause - but also anyone who is a Constitutionalist or a Conservative.

You must be a big fan of Franklin Roosevelt.
