If it’s bad, does government have the right to ban or control it?

Government only has those powers specifically enumerated. What enumerated power does government have that would give it the legitimate authority to ban porn?

Durus: “What enumerated power does government have that would give it the legitimate authority to ban porn?”

I think you’re talking about the federal government. What about state or local governments? If you think no government has the right to impose restrictions on images, can kiddie porn be banned? Wouldn’t that also be protected speech?

I asked questions because I’m interested in what other’s think. I already know what I think is right.
