Porn, Mr.Hefner has spent his life fighting the good fight over what is obscenity. At the end of the day, it's the local community that decides who to go after. Some people in this industry have painted big circles on their chest. No one should be surprised when state or feds take a shot. We have been hearing the antiporn message for decades. We will hear it for decades to come.
Relentless made a great post the other day abouit the war on drugs. I am surprised at Obama's position. Again, now a lot of states are legalizing it for *medicinal* use.
What I believe is that this administration has drawn a line in the sand and they want the feds to be in charge of everything. And it's going to fail. States and local communities is where we should be dealing with social issues.

True, porn has survived through many administrations. So maybe its just another thing politicians say to get elected, it is a pretty standard republican thing. It just seems adult is an easy target, hard line liberals are anti porn too (womens rights etc).
Obama of course has me totally lost on his war on drugs position, I'll agree with you on that. He has sent repeated mixed messages, first softening and then hardening the position after everyone setup shops.
The supreme court already leans conservative and I'd guess there is a pretty decent chance during the next 4 years the president would get to appoint another justice. Six conservatives to 3 liberals could possibly impact the future of the USA a LOT more then anything Romney himself could do. Would they overturn Roe V Wade? Maybe, maybe not, but it sure would be a lot easier. Citizens United sure would be around forever though, continuing to skew the power to a few
