In his first lengthy address since becoming attorney general in early February, [AG Alberto] Gonzales said people who distribute obscene materials do not enjoy constitutional guarantees of free speech.
"I am committed to prosecuting these crimes aggressively," he said to a Washington meeting of the California-based Hoover Institution.

Personally, I don't think this should be a federal issue at all, since obscenity laws are usually states' issues, if I'm not mistaken. Why the fuck is the AG's office worrying about this anyway? Shouldn't they be working on actually convicting one or two of the people we've had incarcerated since we went into Afghanistan.
Ladies and gentlemen, everyone enjoys the right to free speech, even pornographers. I wonder who it'll be next.
