The “two powers” Roberts references are the interstate commerce and taxing powers... nonetheless your point that religion should not be legalized is still valid and important.
The “invisible weapon” is the dynamics of mass marketing: perverts are exceptionally desired consumers and media will do whatever it can to please and attract them.
Supplying such a manipulable, low self-esteem audience for their customers- advertisers- is to the media’s highest profit.
