The decision ultimately means that laws can restrict the free speech of adults in service of protecting children.

    But there’s no such legislation or required identification for my kids to see graphic violence and gore. We’re a pretty bass ackwards society.

        Movies, books, and video games all have a decently sizeable amount, yea. Especially the Bible.

          Movies already have ratings systems and age checks.

          Books at book stores don’t generally have graphic violence and gore.

          The bible is just text, there’s no gore or violence that kids can see.

            You realize words still count right?

            The bible is just text, there’s no gore or violence that kids can see.

            I repeat the above.

    Am I the only one who beleives that it would have been a more effective arguement to try and use the 4th amendment instead of the 1st? Violating free speech is just a weak claim, but “The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches…” seems quite relevent here. But I am also not a lawyer.

      I thought they just stuck down the one in Tennessee? What the fuck. Sick of these corrupt courts.
