sorry - politically this comes with ZERO risk to Bush - NOBODY cares about the rights of pornographers, not even in a 'free speech' context really, except for the ACLU and FSC. So they can do a sweep and charge 1000 porn webmasters, throw 1000 porn webmasters in jail and nobody will care a whit - the government has been very clever about this, they are waging a war against pornography under the guise of a war against 'child pornography'. Ever notice how mainstream media always
uses the terms 'Internet porn' and 'child porn' interchangeably?
Like everybody else I have no idea how big this crackdown on 2257 is going to be BUT to dismiss the very real possibility that there will be a large scale sweep is just whistling past the graveyard in my opinion. it's a very real possibility.
