And it falls under a morality issue doesn't it? So I suppose we should just ignore Mr. Madison and legislate all morality at the national level. That 'demon alcohol' too. This is the mating call of the Progressives of the early 20th century. Do you not think there was interstate trade in the 18th century? Do you not think some of what was traded was considered immoral to some? And for some reason Congress didn't go into a frenzy of passing legislation on it.
So, you do not think opposition to pornography (or drugs, prostitution, etc.) is protected free speech? THAT is very telling.
Ah, putting words into my mouth. That's good. No, I do believe you can stand on the street corner and say anything and everything. However when you cross the line and lobby the federal government to legislate morality (a responsibility of the separate and sovereign states) you should be rightly ignored.
We need more samples of what is not porn.
HUH?! What exactly was the Volstead Act if it wasn't legislation?

Got it, lobbying the federal government on moral issues is unprotected speech.
Since you think that the individual states should be able to determine if child pornography is a crime, what happens when one of them legalizes child pornography? Does the equal protection clause still apply if someone legally purchases child pornography and brings it into another state?
