Extreme Associates Petitions Supreme Court

PITTSBURGH, Pa. - After months of preparation, the Petition for Writ of Certiorari of Extreme Associates, Rob Black and Lizzy Borden has been completed and is on its way to the clerk of the United States Supreme Court – the defendants' last stop before either being absolved of all charges by the land's highest court, or before their being forced to stand trial in U.S. District Court on several counts of trafficking obscenity.


The petition, authored by attorneys H. Louis Sirkin and Jennifer M. Kinsley, ask the Supremes to rule on three questions:

"1) Whether the federal obscenity statutes, as applied to the distribution of obscenity in private ares of the Internet, violate the individual right to privately access and view obscene materials?"

"2) Whether the Court's previous determinations that the right to privately possess obscenity generates no corollary right to distribute obscenity are valid in light of the Court's emerging understanding of privacy and the advent of the Internet?"

And,

"3) Whether Lawrence v. Texas ... eliminates Congress' ability to criminalize the distribution of obscenity in private areas of the Internet based solely upon concerns for public morality?"

The questions may sound simple, but they've all been a long time in coming. They began with U.S. District Judge Gary Lancaster's excellent decision dismissing all charges against the defendants through a combination of Supreme Court rulings from Lawrence v. Texas, the case that overturned the 20-year-old Bowers v. Hardwick's criminalization of consensual adult sodomy; the First Amendment's freedom of speech clause; and the Fourteenth Amendment's guarantee of substantive due process privacy rights embodied in, among other decisions, Roe v. Wade and Griswold v. Connecticut.

That decision was overturned last December by a three-judge appeals court panel, which the entire Third Circuit then declined to review in an en banc proceeding, so the U.S. Supreme Court was the next stop.

I just jerked off to the beautiful Tricia Devereaux getting manhandled and sexually degraded by Steve Hatcher in Mr. Zicari's 'War Whores'.
I got 'The Gangbang Girl 17' too for masturbation. A bunch of guys fuck her in that. They'll be fucking the bitch forever in that manner.

+1 Mr. Zicari

Rob Black is a true American hero.

Seriously, is it a good idea to petition the Supreme Court right after the justice who wrote the obscenity standards (O'Connor) just retired? And got replaced with someone even more conservative?

Supreme Court Rejects Extreme Petition

WASHINGTON - In an occurrence that surprised few, the U.S. Supreme Court today denied review of the U.S. Third Circuit Court of Appeals' decision reinstating charges against Extreme Associates, Rob Black and Lizzy Borden for interstate trafficking in obscene matter.



The rejection had not been expected quite so soon, however, since Extreme's petition had been filed just one month ago, and the response from the U.S. Department of Justice would not be due for at least two more weeks. However, according to Jennifer Kinsley, co-counsel for the Extreme defendants, the government waived its right to file a response, leaving the high court free to make its decision.

Even with the Supreme Court's ruling, it is unlikely that United States v. Extreme Associates will be going to trial any time in the near future.
