JR, as usual, you take what I say and twist in in circles.

The adult industry should always use condoms. SHame on them for not using it. They brought this on themselves. California is using existing laws to come down on the porn industry.

It isn't a "witch hunt", I never said it was. However, we all know that Ashcroft has met with all AGs from the states a couple of times and specifically on the agenda was using local, state, and federal laws against the "digusting purveyors of porn". That doesn't mean just using the COPA style laws, but rather to apply any law possible in order to restrain, contrain, and obstruct the adult industry from doing what is their legal right in the US to do. Legal rights are not important when your bible says it is wrong.

As I noted, it is similar to using zoning laws to effectively make it illegal to have an adult business in a community. You know, not within 5000 feet of a school, church, hospital, seniors residence, other adult businesses, bus terminals, day care centers, or other... to the point where there is in fact NO place within city limits that is acceptable.

Yes, the industry brought this on themselves, but Ashcroft's zeal to get after the adult industry helps the state's AGs willingness to apply these laws in these circumstances. These are the types of prosecutions that might not stand up in court, but can sure slow the industry down and add expenses to the bottom line.

Again, note that I did not say that the state of California is wrong to apply these laws, I just think that they are applying them in this manner because the feds will "back them up" on it.
