John Roberts - pornography vs free speech
A few minutes ago at his congressional hearing John Roberts was asked about Free Speech and Pornography. His tap dancing around that question would have made Buster Brown proud.
I paraphrase. The courts have looked over how much pornography should be protected by free speech. It has decided child pornography can be removed from free speech protections, and other pornography can be placed in different categories. That is all I have to say about that. Looks like we will not know what we are getting from this guy until he takes his seat on the bench. We need a lobby! Eric TNV Entertainment |

Could have been a lot worse. Many right-wing judges would have launched into a tirade about the subject, raining down fire and brimstone for the press.
Roberts is as good a pick as can be hoped under the circumstances. Roe v. Wade will not be touched, get a clue sheep.

If Roe v Wade is overturned, then it'll just go back to the states.
So ifyou want an abortion you'll have to go to a state where its legalized. Its not going to mean the end of abortion all over America |

John Roberts can be a very real danger to so many liberties that we take for granted. He has barely two years as a judge, and his whole career he has been under the patronage of the Republican party - hardly an independent person if you ask me. Yet he can duck and sidestep issues that are at the heart of what he will be focusing on if he is appointed for life to the Supreme Court. On abortion Roberts wrote that Roe vs Wade was "wrongly decided and should be overturned". Roberts is portrayed as a protege of William Rehnquist, who was one of the two dissenting votes in that case. Other considerations that may be factors in his decisionmaking are that he is Catholic (although I know there are Catholic politicians that support abortion rights despite being personally/religiously opposed to it), and also Robert's wife was an executive in anti-abortion group. The Bush administration has been stripping away at our rights in an insidious and methodical way, under the guise of national security (the Patriot Act suspends a wide range of civil liberties), and protecting children. The two appointments that Bush will be making to the Supreme Court are sure to give Bush and his cohorts even more confidence that they can roll back more liberties with the backing and blessing of the court. This is so not good... ADG Webmaster |

Historically the courts have rarely gone back to cases that were already decided upon. The issue may seem hot to the public though I am pretty sure its a mute point with the courts.
Of course this does not mean it could not happen, and then yes it would go back to the states themselves. Though most states would keep shit just as it is.

Roberts is MUCH better than half a dozen other candidates on the list, who make Stalin look "soft". Hell lets just put Ashcroft and Gonzalez in the top seat, would that be better for you? Provide solutions. Any monkey can criticize.

In public comments from each of the justices dating back over the past decade, not one said they feel Roe v. Wade should be looked at again by the court. Not the ones on the left side of the aisle, obviously, and not even those on the right. They bitch about it, yes. Do they agree with it? Likely not. But they certainly won't touch it. Fact. Not opinion.

One more thing.... the court has steadily approved "time and manner" restrictions on speech. It used to be okay to put up a 'dirty bookshop' right next to a school or next to a church. The Court held up local zoning restrictions to zone adult businesses very far from schools, churches, and main population centers. It's very possible they can extend this type of thinking to online pornography.... As for banning porn in general, that probably won't happen since the Miller standard is quite durable.

Plan on Rowe vs Wade being overturned. Thats what the extreme right was promised to get W in. Plan on it happening. The problem is most of America wants to work ,fuck, party on the weekend and watch TV. They dont follow the news or currents events until its usually too late.

Republicans pander to the religious demographic, they don't act on their wishes. Every now and then they'll throw up a prayer-in-school bullshit reforendum to pay lipservice to their Southern base, but that's the limit. They're the whores of the Right, giving their votes in exchange for empty promises. No one, not Roberts, or any other supreme court justice, will challenge Roe v. Wade. Ever. The court has never been a lightning rod for IGNITING controversy, not even with extremely conservative Rhenquist chairing it the past 20 years. People need to slow down and think. Too many knee-jerk "experts" voicing their opinions in this thread.

I was actually surprised by the mildness of his porn remarks and think he came off sounding very genuine about it.

his job is to interpret the law and uphold the constitution. you can't just arbitrarily clamp down on anything without due process. if he is confirmed, it represents the system at work and the approval of both dem's and republicans... and at the end of the day, thats the deal we all signed up for.

And for those who are calling this guy mild, and our pleased with his remarks so far when it comes to porn blah blah fucking blah.
You do realise these are senate confirmation hearings..othe wise known as "the big dance." The attempt at nailing a guy on something like a hot button issue and his attempt at avoiding being nailed..right? You guys do know this don't you? And whether republicans like it or not...porn does have some free rights protections..so yeah he's not gonna just come out and say he's gonna go after it hardcore..sorry for the pun. |

i was replying to someone who said if roe was overturned, it would/could be up to individual states to pass abortion laws, which wouldnt happen because like you said a state cant overturn a federal law. (unless it passed a provision that said states have the right to abide or not, which aint gonna happen) I never said the system sucks and i hate to break it to you, but if you think the system works really well, your the type, like a lot of sheep in this country, beleive what your told and not what you see.

I agree with Bill Maher---if Roe vs Wade gets overturned it is well deserved. The asshats that reelected him, or the ones that couldn't kick their hippie ass kids off the couch to go vote should live in the christian taliban society which he seems to love and promote.
