Jeff Sessions has opened the door to prosecuting "obscenity"

Recommended Posts

In Tuesday’s Senate Judiciary Committee confirmation hearing for Jeff Sessions’ appointment to be Donald Trump’s attorney general, the topic of pornography came up. Specifically, Sen. Orrin Hatch asked Sen. Sessions whether or not he would more “vigorously” prosecute adult obscenity laws targeting pornography and re-establish a special unit to prosecute these cases that former Attorney General Eric Holder disbanded during Obama's first term.

“Those laws are clear and being prosecuted today and should be continued to be effectively and vigorously prosecuted in the cases that are appropriate,” Sessions said.

Of the Justice Department’s shuttered Obscenity Prosecution Task Force, Sessions said this: “That unit has been disbanded. I’m not sure I knew that, but it was a part of the Department of Justice for a long time and I would consider [reviving it].”

As Politico reported five years ago, any recent adult pornography prosecutions “usually focused on cases involving violent pornography, simulated rape or unusual fetishes.” Hatch has complained in the past that the Justice Department didn’t do enough to prosecute larger distributors of more mainstream pornography. In his questioning of Sessions, Hatch cited arguments that adult pornography “should be viewed as a public health problem” and referenced “some of the latest research into the harms of obscenity.”

Do we really need to be prosecuting porn and other "obscenities"? Prosecute child porn for sure, but let's focus on more important things for +++++ssake. 

The more amusing part is this:

Funnily enough, our incoming president has his own history with pornography. More precisely, he has appeared in some (plural) soft-core pornographic films.

None of the appearances included nude work by the president-elect. One such appearance was in the 2000 Playboy soft-core film Video Centerfold, whose plot centered around women named "Carol and Darlene" who "bare their sex appeal and lead you on a sensual journey of discovery." The others were in 1994 and 2001 Playboy films.

We're gonna get them.... more obscenity prosecutions, and an expansion of the War on Drugs.

What kind of porn will be illegal?  Who is to say what a weird fetish is these days?

 

I think violent porn / rape is something that would be questionable, but I simply don't see how you ever regulate that.  We've kind of already gone through these exercises in the past 100+ years.  What you consider obscenity someone else considers art.  

Sessions and his social conservative ilk should go ahead and f-ck right off, preferably on each other. 

The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears; it was their final, most essential command.

Religious based social conservatism is cancer.  What is violent porn?  BDSM?  As long as it involves consenting human (looking at you Washington) adults it should be legal.  Stop Americans producing it and Americans will just watch porn made in other countries.  Somebody should mention to Trump the possibility of adult entertainment being outsourced to Mexico.

Also: South Dakota

Agreed, but at least the Dakotas and Nebraska seem to have a common theme going between Ugliest Residents, Rape and Violence on Females. Also Montana and Wyoming have the kindred Drunk Driving and Fatal Car Crashes.

Washington just sitting out there on its own with Beastiality... I assume its for the eastern part of the state, or are people getting freaky with sockeye salmon?

In 2010, I think it was, Washington was all over the news with multiple bestiality farms being busted.  It was labeled it's hidden tourism attraction or some such shit.  Not just one part of the state either, it was everywhere.

They already do, man

 

Remember that every argument you have with someone on MWCboard is actually the continuation of a different argument they had with someone else also on MWCboard.
