‘I understand the argument but it seems accepted that the Hustler case effectively legalized it.”
Don’t forget COPA, The Children’s Online Protection Act. The GOP Congress passed it at the dawn of the internet era. Clinton signed it.
The Supreme Court threw it out.

These are state ones, right?
Maybe the Supreme Court would be sympathetic.
