Well, according tho the California Supreme Court in a recent case, the First Amendment protects women that sensuously caress themselves while dancing (san clothing) as long as they aren't doing it in a lewd fashion.

She's lying about not wanting to make anyone do anything. Nonsense. She isn't trying to convince people to voluntarily not read obscene material, she's trying to outlaw it.

If the Founders wanted any exceptions to free speech, they could have specified them in the 1st Amendment.

But they didn't. Instead, they reaffirmed our right to unlimited free speech. If you don't like it, the amendment process is well defined for you. If that doesn't work out, there are plenty of countries that will play mommy for you and decide for you what you can see.

No one forces anyone to read or look at anything. If you don't like something and think it's obscene, don't buy it, don't look at it. It's just that easy.

Actually, it is the keystone (note: I do recognize that you're being sarcastic). You don't need to protect speech which everybody agrees with. You need to protect speech which those in power (like the lady in the story) will try to suppress with government force.
