I'll give you that. Roe vs. Wade is certainly among the precedents that would hang in the balance.
But I don't think that first amendment issues are the ones that are in danger of being overturned.
Historically (at least according to my last PolySci professor - not really up for doing the research to cite examples at the moment), conservative judges are the staunchest supporters of constitutional rights - including the ones enumerated in the first amendment.
On the other thing you said, I'm not sure what his appointing federal prosecutors has to do with anything if the power to regulate porn is left exclusively to the States. A federal prosecutor wouldn't have anything to do with it, right? Or is my brain missing something at the late hour?
