With just four words - “the judgment is affirmed” - the Supreme Court on Monday declined to hear Nitke v. Gonzales. Those four words may be the most important Internet purveyors of sexual content hear for quite some time.
The explanation is pretty involved, so read the link. But the gist of it is that the Supreme Court, by choosing not to revisit the 1972 Miller standard, left in tact the notion that material is obscene (and therefore a felony) if the most ass backwards redneck evangelical community in the country thinks so.
I’m just glad that free speech and the first amendment are alive and well here in the good old US of A.
Fucktards.
