Dear List:

The following is a link to an amicus brief filed in the case "United States vs. Extreme Associates."

http://www.ncsfreedom.org/pdf/Extreme_Motion_and_Brief.pdf

But to LBO's great legal minds I want to pose a question:

Are their any activities other than sodomy etc, that are legal to do, but criminalized if written about or filmed?

One point contained in the brief:

"As a result of "Lawrence v. Texas" the government can no longer criminalize private "activities" such as consensual sodomy. Therefore, the government cannot be allowed to criminalize "speech" (words and images) regarding those activities. What justifies this attempt by the government to ban speech which discusses and describes activities which are now legal?"

Your wisdom is welcome as always.
