The Supreme Court, again, declared an act of Congress unconstitutional. The Court looked at the recent attempt to make commercial pornography on the internet illegal if it harms kids, and 5 judges apparently think filters are the way to go.

Four judges said the act was constitutional. Scalia, always the independent, said there was nothing about commercial pornography that should be protected by the First Amendment.

So, we continue to have an internet sex frontier. A place where anything goes.

What do you think?

Let's see. If I have this right, the following are protected under the constitution--internet pornography including virtual child porn, lap dances, abortion almost to the day of birth, homosexual sex, awarding college and grad school berths on the basis of race, habeas petitions from enemy combatants (not held on US soil and captured on battlefields in time of war) and flag burning. The following are not: political speech (when funded by disfavored donations), prayers at graduation, christmas displays on public property, and confessions if the warnings are given after the first conversation.

Does anyone else think that James Madison would be stunned by the malleability of the Constitution?
