The limits of free speech
I've said it before. I'll say it again. Supreme Court in which justices defined -- again -- what freedom the Constitution extends. Today,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], it said people have a right to sell videos of animal fights,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and videos of lovely women crushing small animals.
The court today struck down a 1999 law, passed by Congress,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], that prohibits the depiction of certain animal cruelty. It wasn't close -- an 8-to-1 vote -- and proved again there's nothing more interesting than a Supreme Court opinion.
From the desk of Chief Justice John Roberts:
Such videos feature the intentional torture and killing of helpless animals, including cats, dogs, monkeys,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], mice,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and hamsters. H. R. Rep. No. 106-397, p. 2 (1999) (hereinafter H. R. The government,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], obviously,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], claimed otherwise,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], saying "Whether a given category of speech enjoys First Amendment protection depends upon a categorical balancing of the value of the speech against its societal cost."
Justice Roberts found that sentence "startling and dangerous,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]."
"The First Amendment itself reflects a judgment by the American people that the benefits of its restrictions on the Government outweigh the costs,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]," Roberts wrote. "Our Constitution forecloses any attempt to revise that judgment simply on the basis that some speech is not worth it. The Constitution is not a document 'prescribing limits,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and declaring that those limits may be passed at pleasure.'"
Beautifully-written words,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], unless you're a small animal. In other words: Perverts and derelicts get to say what they want to say,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], too. And the videos are the portrayal of a criminal act,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], not a criminal act.
Justice Samuel Alito didn't necessarily agree,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]. In his dissent he said the laws against depictions of child pornography should be applied in this case,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
Thus,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], any crush video made in this country records the actual commission of a criminal act that in-flicts severe physical injury and excruciating pain and ultimately results in death. Those who record the under-lying criminal acts are likely to be criminally culpable,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], either as aiders and abettors or conspirators. And in the tight and secretive market for these videos, some who sell the videos or possess them with the intent to make a profit may be similarly culpable. (For example, in some cases,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych],crush videos were commissioned by purchasers who speci-fied the details of the acts that they wanted to see per-formed. See H. R. Rep.,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], at 3; Hearing on Depictions of Animal Cruelty 27).
