Scalia said the Supreme Court has not done a very good job of framing a definition of obscenity, which the First Amendment does not protect.

"The line between protected pornography and unprotected obscenity lies between appealing to a good healthy interest in sex and appealing to a depraved interest, whatever that means," Scalia said in stating the court's position.

The result is that every small town in America must tolerate the existence of a porn shop, he said.
