And none of those laws where enacted by the federal government, but instead were at the local government levels.

And it was good.

Additionally, you are cited as posting obscenity once again.

That also changed in the 1960s when federal judges trumped the self-government rights of local governments and started declaring their anti-obscenity laws unconstitutional.

But the internet is different to the extent that local laws against obscenity are completely unenforceable on the internet. If internet obscenity is to be regulated--and it should be--it will require a federal solution.
