Hey let's not be abusive...you're stuck on the child porn issue as though that was the most egregious error in my thinking, but I'm questioning whether or not the 1st amendment was meant to be an amoral document? Don't dance away from the question.
Are we free to say anything we want where ever we want and in any context? Did our forefathers envision the first amendment as a hedge aroung the free expression of Porn?
That is what I hear you saying!
I'm in perfect agreement with you that there is now way in Hell that the Founding Fathers created the First Amendment to protect porn.
The problem is that we no longer live in a Christian country like they did in 1789. We have more than half of our courts controlled by liberal-socialist jurists, we have them subservient to the left-wing American Bar Association, and we have both of those groups in the utter thrall of the ACLU.
It is with great trepidation that I would restrict pornography because if we can find an argument for such a restriction that would pass judicial review I have no doubt that some left-wing lawyer will find a left-wing judge to apply the law to political or religious expression.
Could a crucifix with Jesus' half-naked body on it be construed as pornography? Do you think for one minute that some leftie won't use this argument to try to force Catholic churches to pull down their crucifixes? All it will take is one liberal judge somewhere to start the fire and five liberals on the USSC to codify it.
It isn't that I like porn. I just know eneough not to trust liberals to read the law, any law, the way it is written.
Remember the liberals say the 2nd Amendment was written in 1789 to protect the right of the government to have a National Guard that was organized in 1892.
I just don't trust liberals if we handed them such a weapon they could pervert and use against us.
