The US Supreme Court, Sexual Fetishes, and the First Amendment

Quote
The Supreme Court struck down a federal law Tuesday aimed at banning videos that show graphic violence against animals, saying it violates the right to free speech.

The justices, voting 8-1, threw out the criminal conviction of Robert Stevens of Pittsville, Va., who was sentenced to three years in prison for videos he made about pit bull fights.

The law was enacted in 1999 to limit Internet sales of so-called crush videos, which appeal to a certain sexual fetish by showing women crushing to death small animals with their bare feet or high-heeled shoes.

^  I'm sure there's a fetish about a woman in spike heels crushing that too.  I wonder if filming it would be illegal?  I sense a business opportunity!

crushing to death small animals

This is kind of vague.

Laws are meant to enforce a social norm. There are social norms against animal abuse such as the laws against the dog fights. Crushing dogs, pets, certain livestock is against social norms. Crushing flys and other pests is not (heck the president did it to dismay of  (PETAs) some).

i think we should call it an "engine" so we don't look like total idiots because otherwise we'd be arguing about a "game" and that would be somehow "dumber" than arguing about an "engine" on the "internet" for countless hours

That's a really fucked up fetish, if you know what I mean..

Would choosing me for the question thread be a
unique experience?  I can't really say.

No, I could never understand the complexity of why you think this is a fucked up fetish.

So we are looking at the source of laws as the justification? Don't know how to say it.

But really, I think it's time we should update the Constitution/Amendments, it might've been helpful hundreds of years ago but with all the shit we got now... It's like using the same old shield that was made in the 1600s, during it's time it was the best but now when it comes to the present you might as well have paper vest.

Yeah, I can't word it right.

I for one do not see it that way. Consider the Constitution to be an old katana instead of an old shield. Now, would you rather use a katana from the 1600's, back when they were made best, or from now, when they are made cheaply and without any soul?
The Constitution is more an instrument of offense, than defense.

Fetishes are okay as long as it doesn't violate anyone. Freud said it best when he said it is a matter of preference.

Sick or not I'd rather concern myself if it harms anyone, not if they agree with it.

  • Somebody PM when Caddie is no longer a mod.
When I saw this on the news, it said nothing of sexual fetishes and was talking about this guy selling dogfighting videos.

The reason the law that said that showing acts of animal cruelty on video was thrown out was because it was written poorly and could even engulf hunting videos, nature videos, and even news.

I can see why they through it out. Sounds like Virgina might want to hire some lawmakers who are not to lazy to write a good law.
