> Santorum is indeed talking about enforcing already existing laws.

Actually, it appears he's trying to make anything he doesn't approve of, fit under the broad category of "obscene" or "hard-core", so that he can make it illegal. He wants to enforce the laws dealing with illegal porn in such a way as to include the stuff that is NOT currently illegal, but which he thinks SHOULD be.

That's very different from simply enforcing existing laws.

> Anybody who is against what Santorum said is against enforcing the law.

Ummm, I do not agree. I'm all for enforcing the existing laws, as they are generally understood in the communities where they exist.

I am NOT for letting one bluenose decide what's legal for the entire country, especially when it's quite clear that the vast majority of Americans do not share his self-righteous attitude towards such material.

Obscenity already has a well established legal definition. Obama hasn’t enforced federal obscenity laws but Rick Santorum will.
