First Amendment fetishists say "yes!" to porn for kids; Supreme Court says "right on!"

| 1 Comment

The First Amendment fetishists -- whose views usually triumph in the Supreme Court -- have scored another victory. Pornographers can still market their filth to children, according to our judicial masters. More precisely, they can market their filth, and the authorities can do nothing to stop them.

I haven't read the majority opinion, and I won't venture one of my own until I do, except to point out that "free speech" trumps practically every other consideration (except when it comes to abortion-clinic protests, smoking ads, or other things that disgust the Supreme Court).

Some people think that America will continue to slide down into a moral swamp until we're mired in depravity. I disagree. In typical American fashion, we won't choose a moderate path of tolerating that which we cannot eradicate, and discouraging evil. We will say "anything goes!" until the consequences of the evils are too great. Then we will scream "ZERO TOLERANCE!" and make war on the fruits of our vices. Careening from one extreme to another is one of the great flaws in our national character.

We can't expect the Supremes to protect kids...they're too busy protecting the abortion business, terror-linked detainees, sodomy, and mothers who want to kill their not really real babies...

What? Who?
