ps i love how this is going down with a demmycrat in the oval office.


SHow me an obscenity case that was *started* under this democratic admin, then we'll talk. This one dates back to 2005, under the Grand Operation of Perverts own George W. Bush. Now that said, the Obama admin should have had the balls to kill all inherited obscenity shit the minute they took over, but as the DOJ is supposed to non-political they kept it going. Shame on them.

But if you don't think there is a material difference between the Ds & Rs when it comes to persecuting porn and starting prosecutions against porn valley, you are living in an alternate universe. The Rs get a huge chunk of their most reliable votes from the religious right. And since they can't deliver on what their constituents want, namely banning abortion or instituting Christian prayer in the schools, the Republicans make empty political theater by going after gay marriage and porn.




I can guarantee you that had Dworkin or McKinnon been put in a position to head the DOJ you would have had obscenity cases coming out the ears and they were about as far away from the religious right as you could get. There are people on the extreme left that hate porn just as much as the far right only they do so for different reasons. Trying reading up on Robert Jenson sometime.


Dworkin and MacKinnon are dead (in the case of Dworkin, both figuratively and literally.) The Women Against Pornography movement has vanished. The "sign the petition people" lady who used to collect anti-porn signatures in Manhattan first switched to animal rights and then disappeared altogether. The likes of Dworkin and MacKinnon were never even considered for Justice Dept. posts in Dem. admins.

Meanwhile Reagan really did appoint Ed Meese of Meese commission infamy Attorney General, and Bush II not only appointed AG anti-porn uber-prude John Ashcroft who covered up the freaking nude statues at the DOJ, but but both he and his successor Roberto Gonzales stuffed the Justice Department with unqualified except for their anti-porn Christian Right credentials graduates of Jerry Falwell's Liberty University.

Any pornographer voting Republican on the Federal level votes for their own trip to prison, and as such maybe deserves it on too-dumb-to-live grounds.
