Supreme Court and Obscene Art

"'If I had to guess, I believe they did not wish to revisit the substantive issue, in large part because I think that there's a great discomfort with sexually themed speech and a reluctance to tinker with Miller v. California because prior to Miller the court had 20 years of chaos where they essentially had to act as a trial court, deciding in every case what was and what was not obscene.'

'I'm appalled,' Nitke said of the Supreme Court's decision Monday. 'I really think that the courts have become very politicized. I think it was a political decision, I don't think it was based on the Constitution. It's upsetting to me, and I hope that we'll find other ways to continue fighting this.'"
