The Founding Fathers gave the country to a free people, with the explicit purpose of keeping the national government out of the lives of the people, with people issues being delegated to the authority of the states.
As somebody mentioned, if Santorum is intending to do this, it will not stop at preventing you from looking at gross and disturbing pictures, your conduct on the internet will be completely policed by the feds.
You should know, just from the education system, that when the feds get involved in people issues, it always ends up with the feds promoting its agenda, regardless of whether it is good for the people.
The Left will rise up against Santo like they never have before. He will energize their effort to degrees that will astound even the scoffers,
So what should he do, ignore the federal law? Comstock is an old fuddy duddy law, so who cares?
As people have been saying here, the law is *already on the books*. It just hasn’t been enforced.
We can argue about the best way to enforce it. And yeah, in this climate, of course there is the danger of encroaching federal power. But what’s the alternative? Let the moral sewer continue in *direct violation of federal law*??
Anyway, as everyone else has been saying here, liberty does NOT mean libertinism. It didn’t in the Founding Fathers’ day and it doesn’t now.
