Precisely. They could do it easily if they wanted to.
There's a law that stops people selling or displaying porn to minors, if not they create one. Will sail through. They then include adult websites into the law, no age verification, proper one not a click, and the site comes down. So what is "age verification"? Not a credit card for sure. Not even a pass/verification from the post office. They can be stolen by a minor.
So people who can prove they are over 18, can get into the site and first Amendment is covered. Unless a similar law covering porn shops also breaks the First Amendment rights, it's done. They can loosen it a bit if it's too tight.
This also applies to any site that breaks US laws. The Government controls what comes into the USA all the time. Try buying weed in Holland and taking it through customs.
No specific law has been created to
exempt the Internet from established laws. Until one is created, the law applies. If they wish to enforce it.

Read the above and ask a First Amendment Rights lawyer if a law that covers shops does not cover the Internet.
Mark was spot on, they don't want to and know if they did they would get voted out in a heartbeat, well 4 years of heartbeats.
