So absurd is this ruling, public defecation and urination will now also be considered "free speech."

The act, or the image ?

Step-out on the thought: A fictional book that depicts an insurection against the US government.
Should this book be banned ?
Should I or you be put in prison for having a copy of said book ?

The "action" is against the law, not the image.

Nope, obscenity laws speak both to images and actions, victim and victimless. And those laws should be made by governements closest to the people not from a central authority.

"The 'action' is against the law, not the image."

So what you are saying is there is NO such thing as obscenity or vulgarity; voyeurism of a sex-murder is perfectly ok as long as the viewer has not participated; And let those 10 years olds help themselves to images of Hustler magazine...

The ghost of Caligula lives...
