"What is it with you people? Okay, maybe this was a vague and somewhat misguided attempt, but does that mean we have to allow everything in some kind of virtual free-for-all?" It means that the crafty old farts who wrote the Constitution didn't want people slapped in irons merely for offending people's sensibilities. You of all people should appreciate the court's reluctance to legislate morality. And you can stop trying to infer that those who find this decision a welcome note of sanity (in your face, Ashcroft!) are all CG child pornographers waiting to unleash their evil wares. It's a cheap and offensive argumentative strategy.
