On animal cruelty and free speech
Sometimes,[url=http://woolrichswedense.gengfl.com/][b]woolrich online shop[/b][/url], though rarely, a ruling is so startling and jarring that Congress is moved swiftly to counter it.
That may,[url=http://woolrichoutletfr.halod.com/][b]Woolrich Arctic Parka[/b][/url], and certainly should,[url=http://giuseppezanottioutletonline.webmium.com/][b]giuseppe zanotti outlet online Guseppe Zanotti Official Sale giuseppe zanotti outlet[/b][/url], be the response to the court's decision declaring unconstitutional a 1999 federal law against creation and distribution of material depicting acts of animal cruelty.
By an unusual and rather remarkable 8-1 vote,[url=http://woolrichswedense.gengfl.com/][b]woolrich arctic parka sweden outlet[/b][/url], with Justice Samuel Alito, a member of the conservative bloc, the only dissenter, the Court held that the law was so broad that it violated the free speech protection under the First Amendment.
It was the second time in recent months that the Court had cited free speech rights to reject federal law.
Earlier it had thrown out the McCain-Feingold campaign finance limits on corporate and union contributions on the same general grounds, but in that case in a liberal-conservative split vote.
In this second case, the eight assenting justices brushed aside the blatantly cruel depictions of pit-bull fighting by a Virginia documentary-maker named who sold such videos to undercover agents and was sentenced to three years in prison.
The law originally was aimed at makers and distributors of so-called "crush videos,[url=http://cheapnikesoccercleatsmercurial.webmium.com/][b]Discount Soccer Cleats[/b][/url]," showing women in stiletto-heeled shoes stomping on cats, mice and other small animals and rodents, maiming or killing them,[url=http://monclerwesteherrendaunenjackebillig.albirank.net/][b]Moncler Online Shop[/b][/url], or burning them with lit cigarettes.
Roberts in oral argument suggested hypothetically, and ludicrously, that such videos could be used as political statements.
"How can you tell these weren't political videos trying to fight animal cruelty?" he asked,[url=http://woolrichoutletfr.halod.com/][b]Doudoune Woolrich Parka Femme Outlet[/b][/url].
Alito countered with obvious sarcasm: "What about people who like to see human sacrifice?" He said the court's decision could well result in a flood of new crush videos with the practical effect of legalizing their sale,[url=http://monclerwesteoutletbillig.albirank.net/][b]billig Moncler Jacken Damen Weste Moncler Jacken Outlet Österreich[/b][/url].
A lawyer for Stevens argued that there were other ways under the Constitution to deal with unwanted animal cruelty. It is a view joined by the and a range of major American newspapers.
Acting on the decision,[url=http://rogervivierwedges2013.webstarts.com/][b]roger vivier 2013[/b][/url], Republican Rep. of California announced at once that he was introducing legislation focused directly and narrowly against creation and depiction of crush videos,[url=http://peutereyparkaonlineshopwomen.olimx.com/][b]peuterey parka online shop[/b][/url], and other congressmen of both parties indicated they would join the effort.
, president of , the nation's largest animal-protection organization,[url=http://peutereyparkaonlineshopwomen.olimx.com/][b]peuterey jacken[/b][/url], criticized the court's decision as getting itself tied up in hypothetical legal argument and ignoring the practical ramifications of the case.
He noted that after Clinton signed the bill in question, the crush-video phenomenon "disappeared." In 26 states, he said attorneys general supported the campaign against animal-cruelty videos, as did the to Prevent Cruelty to Animals.
It remains to be seen now how quickly Congress, which overwhelmingly passed the original law now struck down by the court,[url=http://peutereyparkaonlineshopwomen.olimx.com/][b]peuterey parka online shop women[/b][/url], will craft and vote on new legislation that again confronts such vicious and inhumane brutality toward animals of all kinds.
The same legal protection afforded victims of child pornography is warranted for them,[url=http://monclerwesteoutletbillig.albirank.net/][b]http://monclerwesteoutletbillig.albirank.net/[/b][/url], and willing legislators and their lawyers should waste no time finding the language that will satisfy the most steadfast defenders of free speech.
This is not simply a case of flag burning,[url=http://merrellshoesonsaleformen.blogspot.com/][b]merrell shoes on sale for men[/b][/url], which, no matter how reprehensible,[url=http://woolrichoutletfr.halod.com/][b]Doudoune Woolrich Parka Femme Outlet Woolrich Arctic Parka Pas Cher[/b][/url], does not involve the inflicting of corporal punishment or the taking of lives.
