Alan has actually prosecuted enterprises who distribute illegal hardcore pornography. Listen to some of the things he has to say about the prosecution of such hardcore, illegal obscene material in an interview with Patrick Trueman.
The Justice Department hasn’t indicted anyone on an obscenity case since Obama took office. So much of what is done in the pornography enterprise is directly related has to do with whether or not there is an enforcement of thefederal and state laws in this matter. These people who engage in this abuse of women, abuse of children, abuse of people, believe they will have no consequences for their violations of federal and state law, they essentially do whatever they please at whatever level. So no prosecution equals enhanced abuse and all the negative secondary impact on women, children and society.
Pornographers say it’s our First Amendment right if we want to send pornography into your community. First of all, hardcore obscene mat has never been protected by the First Amendment. It has always been stated very clearly. Hiding behind the shield of the first amm is one of the ways they’ve sought to hide behind their bank account by confusing jurors, judges and the public at large. But, hardcore, obscene material is not now, nor has ever been protected by the Constitution. It is very clear that from all of history that those who wrote it never meant to protect this type of material and this has been upheld every time in high courts.
