Republicans are drunk with power. What a stupid fucking idea. There’s no chance of banning porn. Then they wouldn’t be able to jerk to Trans women and feel shame after.
Trans women are hot, in case that reads as though the shame is correct. It’s not.
There’s SCOTUS precedent saying that pornography–but not obscenity–is covered by 1A. (Obscenity isn’t very well defined, but it’s generally understood to mean pedophilia/anything involving minors (including drawings), certain acts of violence combined with sex, bestiality, and possibly necrophilia. Other extreme sexual acts–such as crush fetishes–might also fall under obscenity.) You can’t pass laws to unspool constitutional rights; your only legal recourse is either stacking the court with people that want to change precedent, or amend the constitution.
Actually good! Those assholes duddling children need to go away, for a long time.
This bill is trying to get it all legally classified as obscenity. They’re leaning into obscenity already being illegal, they just want to extend the classification to include basically all nudity and porn.
hmmm wherever could we find a bunch of justices that would want to change precedent…🤔
Pretty sure that Alito, Thomas, and Barrett would be all-in on that. Not sure about Goresuch, Roberts, or Kavanaugh.
they 6-3’d Roe. they give no shits about precedent.
Or just do what Trump, his administration, and the Republicans are doing. Move fast, break things, then tell the court ‘oops, you’re too late.’ Trump and the Republicans don’t care about the law, they only reason they pass anything through the house is because they want it to have more legitimacy than just a Presidential declaration. If it doesn’t pass the house it’ll still be the law. Just not on any books.
Pretty sure obscenity has to include actual people or at least be photo realistic enough to not be able to tell the difference.
It definitely does not. Look up Boiled Angel; I think that case was an absolute fucking travesty, but as of right now, it’s still good case law.
Just read through that whole thing and it made my blood boil. I don’t even know what it included, and it doesn’t matter. Drawings, especially those pointing out issues in society, should not be jailable. Fucking ridiculous.
And the judge that claimed that even if they were commentary on society, he should use a better vehicle? Who the fuck is he to say what art is? If he acknowledges it is commentary on society, it shouldn’t fucking matter to a court how the drawings portrayed it.
That would still cover porn in general and things like deep fakes wouldn’t it?
Only if they otherwise meet the definition of obscenity (talking about current law). Like has been said the definition is somewhat vague (deliberately so), but there have been some things that have been ruled not to be, including art and most porn.
