Quote:

The District Court hearing Rob Black's Case (US v. Extreme Associates) dismissed the case on the grounds that the (relatively) recent ruling in Lawrence v. Texas rendered the Miller test obsolete. The Third Circuit reversed that ruling, holding that, according to precedent, only the Supreme Court can determine if one of it's rulings invalidates an earlier ruling. The Supreme Court declined to hear the case, and it has been remanded to the District Court for trial. Eventually, the Supremes will have to rule on the issue.




I'm sorry counselor, but I'm not a lawyer so I'm not sure I understand. What will the supreme court be ruling on? On whether obscenity exist, or on how obscenity should be defined?
