Supreme Court nominee Kagan's anti-porn strategy

In her one major scholarly paper, Elena Kagan, the political activist Obama has nominated for the Supreme Court,
lays out her strategy for the war on porn.

Kagan lists her four strategies for going after pornography in her paper "Regulation of Hate Speech and Pornography after R.A.V.":

Quote:
(1) the enactment of new, or the stricter use of existing,
bans on conduct; (2) the enactment of certain kinds of viewpoint-
neutral speech restrictions; (3) the enhanced use of the constitutionally unprotected category of obscenity; and (4) the creation of
carefully supported and limited exceptions to the general rule
...
of particular relevance to pornography,
the Constitution may well permit direct regulation of speech

...
Such efforts will not eradicate all pornography or all hate speech from our
society, but they can achieve much worth achieving. They, and
other new solutions, ought to be debated and tested in a continuing and multi-faceted effort to enhance the rights of minorities and women.
She then goes on the argue that porn and obscenity are one and the same, and porn is therefore not protected under the Constitution.

If you think this anti-porn activist who has never been a judge should not be on the Supreme Court
deciding what your Constitutional rights are, send an email, letter, or phone call to your Senators:
