Oregon obscenity ruling clears way for live sex shows

SALEM, Ore. - The Oregon Supreme Court struck down as unconstitutional Thursday a state law against conducting live sex shows and a local ordinance regulating conduct of nude dancers.

Both restrictions violate the Oregon Constitution's guarantees of free speech and free expression, the court said in a pair of 5-1 decisions.

The rulings continued the court's modern pattern of broadly interpreting the constitutional rights as forbidding virtually all regulation of obscenity.

The constitution, adopted in 1859 says, "No law shall be passed restraining the free expression of opinion, or restricting the right to speak, write or print freely on any subject whatever."

I was sure that when I signed up the fine print said I would get a live sex show after each 500 posts.

Orgen s in the feds sights though.. rulings on Medical MJ , and next assisted suicide, will have major impacts on the fed vs state laws and the repercussions of those rulings will trickle down as the are intended to by the right wing.

they always say they are for states rights ( unless they dont agree with it ) well then they say the feds need to step in and help those stupid states out.

it is too bad to watch the country go down so much and that these people that say they are for the " constitution" allow such tragedy to take place casue it suites them personally.

but I guess I am just a stupid liberal ( that believes in the CONSTITUTION working for ALL) so I must be a leftie bent on destroyi9ng the world with hand outs and freedoms and good schools and fixed roads and shit I am just a fuck up.

Apparently, my schooling on "state's rights" was a good long time ago and my memory must be faulty.

(By the way, the red spot on the smacked smilie? That's fish juice, not bloody smilie skull. I may take these smilies a tad too seriously...as has been indicated previously.)
