> Since porn is on the internet, it is NOT easily accessible to minors.

That seems to be entirely beside Santorum's point. His particular brand of politics is largely against any kind of sexual freedom. Gay rights, abortion, even contraception is something they would like the government to legislate against. To them, porn is not bad because kids might see it; porn is bad, full stop.

The problem (for the anti-porn crowd) with that is SCOTUS won't censor anything unless they have a damn good reason to. They wouldn't touch video games because there is already a mechanism (the ESRB) to give parents the power to protect their kids from the 'dangers' within. Consenting adults are pretty much free and clear to do anything they want to themselves as long as it doesn't hurt anyone else - as far as the current justices appear to be concerned.


Any pot cases making their way to the SCOTUS in the near future?
