CHATSWORTH, Calif. - In a development that surprised even himself, obscenity charges against producer Rob Black of Extreme Associates have been thrown out of court by a federal judge in Pittsburgh.

“I’m still speechless,” Black told AVN.com. “All ten counts against us were dismissed.” He said that Judge Lancaster had also ruled that obscenity laws are unconstitutional.

“I now have made fucking history,” said the jubilant Black.

“It makes everything perfect,” he added. “The business has been going great and all of a sudden my lawyer calls up and said I won.”

Black’s lawyer, Lou Sirkin, was not immediately available for comment.

Black said he’d been told that federal prosecutor Mary Beth Buchanan told a wire service reporter that she was disappointed and that she felt the government had a slam dunk case and that any jury would have convicted.

“This is the greatest news I’ve ever had,” Black said.

Yes, Bush is still scaring me.

However -

The chairman of the FCC resigned today. That is good news.

And Bush said the other day that he is not going to go for the constitutional amendment on gay marriage. Politically it is too difficult to do was his connotation.

So, I feel a little better.

Bush said what he had to say and did what he had to do to get re-elected...
now things can go back to gridlock

I'm also glad Powell is stepping down

I really don't want Bush to fail...but for fuck's sake, he still makes me nervous...

That's assuming the Supreme Court doesn't overturn the Defense of Marriage Act.

If they do ... its on

I could be wrong, but I think Lance is talking about Michael Powell stepping down from the FCC.

Guarantee you that judge is gonna be targeted by conservative activists. The dismissal will be attacked on the basis that the USSC has already ruled that obscenity is a proper restriction of free speech even though it has never been defined other than the nebulous "community standards" standard they cited. That judge is begging to be rebuked by a higher court for this ruling.

Federal Judges have life time appointments. It's nearly impossible to impeach a judge unless something criminal has happened.

Good to see some people finally waking up....

The sky is not falling.

I personally think Black should have been thrown in jail.

Well, yes and no. It's good in the sense that people will be able to use it in the future. Bad in the sense that I have ZERO doubt that the part about obscenity being unconstitutional will be overturned and I can't think of too many other things that could spur conservative activits and the new AG, who has promised a crackdown on porn, to push this as fast as they can to be overturned and use it as a rallying point to try and ensure that a ruling that squeezes the industry by the balls comes about.

I'm not exactly sure what his content is like but I'm generally not in favor of restrictions of free speech.
