Obscenity law in Ohio targeted by lawyer
A lawyer who specializes in defending the distribution of sex images, including by Larry Flynt's Hustler magazine, has moved to overturn Ohio's obscenity law on the basis of the recent Supreme Court decision legalizing homosexual sodomy.

what are you doing reading the washington times, mr. violins. you don't strike me as being either the ultraright wing wacko or moonie type (which are the two primary types of readers of the washington times) .
i don't think that the supreme court is going to find a fundamental substantive due process right to sell porn. smart lawyering move though - to avoid the constitutional issue, there is a strong incentive to simply find that there is no violation of community standards and dismiss the indictment.
of course, from reading the fashion bored you have to wonder exactly what type of video actually violates the contemporary community standards anymore. i guess in cincinatti it would be easier to violate contemporary community standards - but out of the entire video store, they are only charging the video store owner for one video??? i'm highly curious but scared to know what is in that video that is so bad that they decided to bring an obscenity charge now
