If it isn't speech, is it a use of the press? True, you don't speak pictures, but you do publish them via the press, an the "no law" clause of the First Amendment applies equally to the press.
I've always wondered what words a law or constitutional provision should contain if you really wanted to prevent the government from making any law regulating speech or the press.
Isn't "Congress shall make no law..." sufficient? and if not, what more could you say?

the press: interesting point. However, does "kiddie porn" fall under "freedom of the press"? frankly, i don't think congress should make a law prohibiting porn; i don't think they have the right. the states or localities are different, however.
