Then I think we have reached common ground!

(-:

I'm all for restricting porn wherever we can so long as the action does not allow a general restriction on free speech.

I would not support banning publication of magazines or even private production of currently legal videos.

I do support the President with his faith-based initiatives that would have an effect on people's hearts. It is far better to reduce the demand for porn than to threaten liberty by restricting speech.

It's all I can do to convince people they can't use strict constuctionist arguments that say the original intent of the First Amendment was only to protect political speech, and then turn around and argue that since porn isn't protected we can use living document "New Deal" Commerce Clause legislation to regulate it.
