[Rule of Law]

Child pornography is not speech,

Let us suppose, for the sake of argument, that pornography is not speech. Please show me where in the Constitution the federal government gets authority to regulate it.

It's not, but we're talking child porn here - that involves the depiction of minors in lewd acts. But, alas, I'm sure you won't find the word "pornography" in our founding documents. Our Founding folk never thought we'd stoop to this kind of vomitous slime.

But, alas, I'll not convince the libertines among us.

Please show me where in the Constitution the federal government gets authority to regulate it.

The fact that the Supreme Court has ruled on this precludes ANY state or local government from doing so. If the Supreme Court strikes down this law, it cannot be resurrected by any local authority.

I agree with you that the Federal government has no such authority, but now no local government does either.
