I knew it when I saw it
God bless America! The federal anti-obscenity statutes were declared unconstitutional!The government argued, in part, that "entertaining lewd and lustful thoughts stimulated by viewing material that appeals to one's purient interests . . . . is immoral conduct even when done by consenting adults in private." The court, however was unmoved by this Comstockian argument, declaring that after Lawrence, "upholding the public sense of morality is not even a legitimate state interest."I like one of the comments on that blog: "Now that DOJ can't fight porn anymore, maybe they'll have to divert all those resources back to fighting terrorism." One can only hope!
