JR, no, the adult industry brought this on themselves. That isn't the point - the point is that there are people at the federal level looking to attack the adult industry any way they can, I am sure that Ashcroft has discussed this issue with the AG for California, to find ways to put pressure on.
Ladylaw: It is a beautiful application of laws to achieve a desired result, even one that is not intended. Sort of like using zoning laws to restrict adult businesses.

you often confuse your own opinion with fact. i understand bush, ashcroft etc are against porn... but what the state of california would or would not be doing, who said what, what order came from where etc... is just a guess or assumption on your part that you put forth as fact... and the single truth in this whole conversation is that you do not know the facts. you are just guessing.
it also seems perfectly logical to assume that when an AID's outbreak happens due to unprotected sex (this is not the first time) that people would be pressuring the state to monitor what they are doing. regardless of political orientation.. the truth is that just as you agreed, the industry brought it on themselves... so it makes little sense for you to then try to characterize it as a republican witch hunt.
using your logic, we would all have to assume that democrats don't care about the safety and health of 18/19 year old girls that go to california and are now dying as a result of a porn shoot (as is the case with the first girl).. since taking any action to control the porn business and enforce safety issues is somehow a violation of the constitution in your eyes.. and we know how blaspemous suggesting that democrats might do such a thing is. its much better to just let those 18 year old kids die and avoid the real issues.
if there was a democrat for president and this happened, you would be arguing the absurdity of people trying to point out that it came from the President... because your arguments are about political polarization and "us against them" (a little weird considering you are not even a US voter) than proveable fact.
they are enforcing existing state law and that is something has absolutely nothing to do with Ashcrofts religion and you certainly can't prove that it all came from the white house as much as you would like to be able to.
