'Virtual' Child Porn Act Ruled Unconstitutional

wiredog writes "The United States Supreme Court, in a 6-3 ruling, has found the Child Pornography Prevention Act to be unconstitutionally vague and far-reaching." You might read the Act. There were a number of cases challenging the constitutionality of the Act; I believe three Appeals courts eventually upheld it, and one ruled it unconstitutional, guaranteeing that the Supreme Court would take one of the challenges for review. A summary of the decision is available, and see that pages for links to the majority opinion and dissenting opinions.

Oooo Baybee! Nothing like a 30-year-old with crows' feet, pigtails, a teddy bear and a lolipop!

Not.

Crackhead moron, I wish you were alone in your simplistic response to a complex problems. If public castrations were the result, you'd be seeing more child abductions and murders. Do the world a favor and don't breed.

Agreed - Pedophilia is a mental instability and a mental disease. This is a mental disease which, studies have shown becomes more uncontrollable when the level of stimuli is such that uncontrollable thoughts of incest/child rape or other pedophiliactic activities arrise. They feel that the must act-out their sick, deviant desires.

Why feed the disease? Why give the pedophilias a source for their disgusting, evil activities?

Would you feel any differently if a computer-generated picture of your own child was found being circulated by these sick, mental degenerates?

Think about it.

ScottKin - who would love to see all pedophiles locked-away in mental institutions for life...or the gas chamber! DEATH TO NAMBLA!!!
