I think we should both be able to agree that the law as written by congress was poorly written and the Supreme Court did the right thing in declaring it unconstitutional.

You don't seem to care why the SC threw the law out, just that the original law is gone. I care very much that they threw it out, in part, because they believed simulated child pornography is protected speech. We are not on the same page if you agree with them in that respect.

I ask again: Do you believe that the publishing of children engaged in simulated sex acts is a legal right entitled to citizens of this country?

I believe that the production of virtual images (which is what we are talking about) is a protected activity under the 1st amendment. Just as much as Maplethorpes 'art' is.
