But Think Of The Children!
SCOTUS continues to be full of surprises. Today, they ruled that the Child Online Protection Act is "likely" unconstitutional because of its chilling effect on protected forms of on-line speech. For example, websites about birth control or illustrations of certain works of art might have been deemed obscene under COPA, subjecting the operators to criminal prosecution. And Clarence Thomas, of all people, was in the majority. And Stephen Breyer was in the minority. The hell? Is this some alternate-universe Supreme Court, perhaps from the same universe where Spock had that totally bitchin' fu manchu?
