From the Lighted Candle Society:
It costs about $5000 to file an "amicus brief" with the Supreme Court and that's just the printing costs! After you add in costs for lawyers, researchers and other logistics you have an expensive venture before you. Last year the Lighted Candle Society took on these costs to file a "friend of the court" brief in the case of US vs. Williams.
Was it worth it? You bet!
On Monday, the US Supreme Court ruled 7-2 upholding anti-child pornography laws and confirming this fact: "obscene speech—sexually explicit material that violates fundamental notions of decency—is not protected by the First Amendment."
While the wheels of justice can be slow (and expensive) the results are lasting and impactful.
This is a huge victory in the fight against p*rnograhpy and hopefully there will be others!

In our nation we not only have the rights to vote for our leaders but we also have the rights to have our wants and needs represented and if need be we have the rights to march and assemble and lobby our representatives to bring about changes to meet our needs. This is a great nation and this is an example of the constitution at work. I love it!!!
