Now, while I'm not for child porn, this article shows very clearly that President Bush would love to put some reins on Freedom of Speech.

First Amendment freedoms are most in danger when the government seeks to control thought or to justify its laws for that impermissible end, Justice Anthony Kennedy wrote for the majority. The right to think is the beginning of freedom, and speech must be protected from the government because speech is the beginning of thought.

While President Bush knows that he will surely be turned back by the courts, he can hold up his moral stand during the next election. Does anybody know if the Democrats are going to run anybody against him? They might want to to think about getting a candidate in the news someday.
