Good! The First Amendment was ONLY ever supposed to be For CORPORATIONS NOT Books! Just ASK the Founders!
It effectively ends free information access in potentially all 50 states.
And who is going to be in charge of book censorship? Will these small government, libertarian states have to have a new public agency? Will they just hand it over to the churches? This is going to be a bureaucratic as well as a human rights nightmare.
Time to challenge all the religious and conservative books. All of them. Repeatedly.
That right is reserved for corporations.
we need a socialist revolution in the us. seriously!
Sounds like shithole 3rd world states.
what would william z. foster do?
They can only take away your rights if you let them.
- Not much you can do in "when the lootin' starts the shootin' starts" states. They will happily murder you and your entire family while paying the police overtime to do it.
  
  Who are 'they' and where do they live?
Obscenity has never been protected by the First Amendment.
