dude, when are you going to come here without distorted facts. You're an extreme left winger, we get that. Must you distort the facts as well?

The original CDA bill, while supported by a number of politicians from both parties, was conceived and pushed through congress in the years following the right wing "Gingrich Revolution", when Republicans were in the majority and Clinton was constantly being threatened by Republicans with an overide of his veto power.
|
Please tell me when the republicans held a 2/3s majority in the house and senate to override a veto? Stop pretending it was the republicans alone who brought this law into being.

Obscenity prosecutions were down 80% during the Clinton administration over the previous Republican administrations. Child Porn prosecutions were up substantially during that same time. Clinton decided to respect Free Speech and instead focus law enforcement's resources on illegal child porn, something that the two previous Republican administrations did not do.

Son, Clinton became president when, '92, '93? so how much attacking did the republican presidents before him do to internet porn? Please, tell us who those republican presidents went after on the net so we can see.

Reno's justice department never enforced the CDA law, even before it was appealed.

The majority Supreme Court decision, which overturned the CDA law, was written by Justice Stevens, a non-right winger. Right wing activist judge William H. Rehnquist was one of the two judges who did not believe the bill should be entirely overturned.

First, there is no such thing as a right wing activist judge (that's just a term invented by liberals who don't like strong conservatives) . second, if a majority of the supreme court overturned it, I guess some of them must be republicans right? Also, Republican presidents have appointed as many of the current liberal bench as democrats have (look it up for once)

The case to appeal the law was filed and argued by the ACLU, hated by right wingers.

There's a point here somewhere, I know it.

Here is a quote from a Democrat Senator after the Supreme Court ruling:
"Giving full force to the first amendment online is a victory for the first amendment, for American technology, and for democracy," said Sen. Patrick Leahy (D-VT) in a statement. "The CDA was misguided and unworkable. It reflected a fundamental misunderstanding of the technology of the Internet."

Well they better say something considering it was the clinton administration that was busy stripping away your rights. I suggest you read this:

Immediately after the CDA law was overturned, several Republicans in congress, including one of the notorious sponsors of the first unconstitutional law, wrote and pushed through another bill, which was also later found unconstitutional.
|
No, completely false. it wasn't "several" it was more like a couple and if I were interested, I could trot out the stupid liberal laws sponsored by a "couple" of liberals.

Once again, Clinton and Reno never enforced the second unconstitutional Republican law.

You're right finally. They vigorously defended against appeal the democratic CDA law as outlined here:

Yes you did. what this means is that besides ignoring EVERYTHING going on on the internet, Clinton also ignored 80% of the crimes that the 6 presidents before him (both republican and democrat) thought were worthy of prosecution.
You liberals are so dopey some times.
