- LorenPechtel 4y agoI see nothing in the First about obscenity. That's just one of the things the puritans have managed to get away with circumventing the Constitution. It's also a pretty meaningless term.
- _-david-_ 4y agoThis is no different than treason, hiring a hitman, fraud or libel. The founders did not consider any of those to be free speech as well. Everybody at the time understood obscenity was not protected so there was no need to explicitly call it out as an exception.
