[ARCHIVED THREAD] - California Congressman (Democrat, of course) says possession of child porn should not be a felony.

Posted: 9/13/2005 7:50:31 PM EDT

This is why our great nation is going down the crapper. Just on the O'reily Factor-I saw it with my own eyes-a California Congressman said that possession of child porn should not be a felony. How do people like this get into positions where they are responsible for making laws? What a sick, twisted bastard.

And you wonder why folks like that dude in Washington who killed the two child molesters are taking the law into their own hands??

Isn't MAKING child porn a felony also? So if making it is, why is there a problem with possessing it being a felony? Making it or possessing it, you're just as guilty.

BS, the child porn buyers drive the crime to happen in the first place (IE:movies, magazines and stills)
With no buyers the market would dry up and disappear.
The buyers of such filth and vile destruction of childhood should be hung up by their genitals and then handed over to the Fathers of the child victims for some "quiet time"

I'm not talking about child porn specifically. It just seems like the majority of CA politicians have a set of morals that is far different than the rest of the country.

Isn't there already a federal law prohibitting the possession of child pornography? I guess having a second or third law prohibitting the crap whould make it even better if it weren't for that double jeapordy stuff.

Son of Astronaut Pleads Guilty to Kid Porn

(AP) - SAN FRANCISCO-The son of an astronaut has pleaded guilty to possession of child pornography in a federal sex tourism case, according to court records.

Walter M. Schirra III, 55, pleaded guilty Aug. 31 to a federal charge of possession of child pornography.

Schirra, of San Francisco, was arrested Nov. 6 as he tried to board a Thailand-bound plane, authorities said. A luggage search netted photos of shirtless Asian boys, sexual performance enhancing drugs and candy, customs officials said.

Those items aren't illegal, but a later search of a computer at Schirra's home revealed child pornography, authorities said. He was arrested under a law passed last year to crack down on sex tourism.

Schirra's father, Walter Schirra, flew in America's first three space missions.

The younger Schirra will be sentenced Dec. 7.

Janet Reno and the Clinton administration struck down two important parts of the Child Pornography Prevention Act of 1996, 18 USC 2251.

As we explain in our petition, certiorari is warranted in
this case because the court of appeals invalidated two
important provisions of the Child Pornography Prevention
Act of 1996 (CPPA), 18 U.S.C. 2251 et seq. In particular, the
court of appeals held unconstitutional the provisions of the
CPPA that define child pornography to include (1) any visual
depiction that “is, or appears to be, of a minor engaging in
sexually explicit conduct,” 18 U.S.C. 2256(8)(B) (Supp. IV
1998), and (2) any visual depiction that “is advertised, pro-
moted, presented, described, or distributed in such a manner
that conveys the impression that the material is or contains a
visual depiction of a minor engaging in sexually explicit
conduct.” 18 U.S.C. 2256(8)(D) (Supp. IV 1998). Certiorari
is also warranted because the court’s holding is incorrect and
conflicts with the decisions of three other circuits, United
States v. Hilton, 167 F.3d 61 (1st Cir.), cert. denied, 528 U.S.
844 (1999); United States v. Acheson, 195 F.3d 645 (11th Cir.
1999); and United States v. Mento, 231 F.3d 912 (4th Cir.
2000).

I do not believe you have ever met or even heard of the majority of California polititians. Yes we have some really fucked up ones, but we also have some of the most Conservative, honest, patriotic polititians in the Nation.

Not to sound like a perv here BUT, there was a reason why this part of the law was struck down. It had to do with vagueness of the wording. is, or APPEARS TO BE, of a minor engaging in
sexually explicit conduct This is at worst extremely dangerous wording when it come to Legal porn and overzealous DA's. According to this law you MIGHT be arrested for possession of mags like "barely legal" or "cherry poppers" or "First timers" or whatever! So suppose you got a flick where an 18 or older girl is dressed up in that "catholic school" uniform, and doing things with the headmaster

well according to the law you could be arrested for "simulated" (whatever the hell that means) child porn.

He lives in San Francisco, and his marital status is single, not saying anything here, just pointing it out. You can draw your own conclusions here. Oh, and he was the writer of the Same Sex Marriage Bill.

And if that isn't enough of a clue for you, his website calls him the first openly gay Representative and he was the Chair of the LGBT (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual & Transgender) Caucus in 2004.
