Does anyone believe that the Founders had someone like Max Hardcore in mind when they wrote the Bill of Rights?

Did they have AK-47s in mind when they wrote the 2nd Amendment? That's an argument the gun-grabbers use quite often?

I'm not defending Hardore's films. I think they are reprehensible. But apparently he is not breaking the law as it is currently written. The 1st Amendment hasn't evolved as a "living document" in order to protect Max Hardcore. It is right there.

Sorry, I don't buy it. And it cheapens the meaning of the Bill of Rights to use it to cover a pervert just because he videotapes his perversions and shows them on the web.

Of course he is. Federal obscenity laws are not restricted just to child porn.

TITLE 18 - PART I - CHAPTER 71 - OBSCENITY § 1466. Engaging in the business of selling or transferring obscene matter

The 1st Amendment hasn't evolved as a "living document" in order to protect Max Hardcore. It is right there.

Sorry, but the first amendment has never protected obscenity.
