Since we first discussed it back in February, Popehat’s “Make No Law” podcast is hitting it out of the park when it comes to First Amendment content.
This week is no exception, with a discussion of United States v. Stevens, the Supreme Court case dealing with the Animal Crush Video Prohibition Act of 2010, one of those laws that makes you realize Congress will legislate on just about anything if it allows them to put off important work for a while. From the show’s description:
In this episode of Make No Law, the First Amendment Podcast by Popehat.com, host Ken White examines United States v. Stevens and the question of whether the government can continually come to the Supreme Court with potential exceptions to the First Amendment. The episode features input from Marc Randazza, a nationally-known First Amendment and intellectual property attorney. It also examines other relevant cases including New York v. Ferber, a 1982 case in which the Supreme Court decided that the government could punish distribution of child pornography even if it didn’t meet the Miller test for obscenity.
