ACLU to Challenge Utah Porn-Blocking Law
delirium of disorder writes "Opponents of a Utah law that requires Internet service providers to offer to block Web sites deemed pornographic filed a lawsuit last Thursday to overturn the measure. The American Civil Liberties Union of Utah is seeking an injunction in federal court in Salt Lake City as part of its lawsuit claiming that the Utah law violates state residents' rights to free expression and unlawfully interferes with interstate commerce. The legislation requires the attorney general to create an official list of Web sites with material that is deemed harmful to minors. Under the law, Internet providers in Utah must provide their customers with a way to disable access to sites on the list or face felony charges."
You mean like my right as an indivdual to own a gun? That right?
Your Constitutional right to self-defense is worthless the moment you become unable to exercise it.
ACLU has everthing but Ammendment #2
That would be fine, if they would just stay out of Amentment #2 and say we protect most of your rights. But they don't.
"It's the height of ridiculousness to say for those 9 lines you get hundreds of millions."
They don't like the Second at all.
Really?
I suggest you read the ACLU's take on it.
It's not that they don't like it, it's that they read the whole thing, as opposed to just the second part of it like the NRA does. I.e. the ACLU wants to protect the actual amendment, not just the biased, edited fringe version of it.

Let me translate: They only need a handful of justices to defeat the choice of the Utah voter majority.
