It's scope has been expanded, rightfully so.
I doubt it's been expanded to protect the right of assholes to run around screaming "go fuck yourself" at 7 year olds in public.
The adult industry is protected because adults should have the right to view porn if they want. You're an adult, do what you want. Hence, rightfully expanded.
What possible reason could saying obscenities to little kids in public be protected?
Use a little common sense.

The person who was arrested was an adult who called a cop a pig. That is undeniably political speech. A cop is the government. The first amendment exists, in part, so that the people can be critical of the government in a way that they (not the government) choose without fear of being arrested or punished.
If you can't call a cop a pig, why should you have the right to call Hillary a bitch, Bush an idiot, or anyone else in the government anything other than "sir"?
The Montana Supreme court should be overturned on this bad decistion. They have ruled against the very foundation of the U.S. Constitution.
