DOJ 'Mandated' to Prosecute Obscenity

MIAMI - The U.S. Department of Justice, at least according to its chief representative in Miami, believes obscenity is a bigger threat to the American way of life than drugs, terrorism, corruption, or organized crime. That’s the impression U.S. Attorney Alex Acosta has been leaving in his wake lately, anyway, and its creating something of a backlash in the legal and law enforcement communities.

Addressing a meeting of Federal Bureau of Investigation supervisors here last month, Acosta reportedly said his mandate to pursue adult pornography cases even more aggressively than those against child pornographers was delivered directly by U.S, Attorney General Alberto Gonzalez himself. The FBI and other law enforcement groups with which Acosta spoke subsequently have been less than enthusiastic, according to published reports.

"Compared to terrorism, public corruption, and narcotics, is no worse than dropping gum on the sidewalk," Stephen Bronis, a partner at Zuckerman Spaeder in Miami and chair of the white-collar crime division of the American Bar Association, told Daily Business Review. "With so many other problems in this area, this is absolutely ridiculous."

Lida Rodriguez-Taseff, a spokeswoman for the American Civil Liberties Union and a partner at Duane Morris in Miami, told the paper, "It's amazing that we're wasting our resources on the morality police instead of battling organized crime, illegal drugs, corruption, and undocumented immigration. I can't even believe this."

1. If they're going to prosecute obscenity

maybe they'll finally do something about this administration. I can't imagine a bigger obscenity in my lifetime.

2. Oh yeah, I am so corrupted when I see a womans breast

It makes me feel like going out and killing people, driving wildly and stealing to support my habit of looking at women.
:sarcasm:

Welcome to the second victorian era.

over other people's sex lives. Very sick.

5. Words fail me - almost

What the FUCK are they talking about here? Terrorists and drug dealers are just fine as long as they keep a civil tongue in their heads and don't take any pictures of their "other" activities?

Scalia will just have to keep his orgy photo album to himself now for sure! :rofl:

9. "THEY".. Are The F'n ...."ORGANIZED CRIME"....Wake Up People,..BuShtiCo

what do you think is going on...??

Where so you think a trillion dollars a year of Drug Profit Money has gone for the last 30 years.. there is nothing REALLY BIG and SHINNY to account for it ..except a CORPORATE FASCIST STATE now thinking they can take over the world.

Iraq is our Poland.. the start of it all.

and Russia has Highly Developed SCALAR WEAPONS and we dont even know what they are... we fell behind in that arms race..

the end could be VERY swift and dirty. You could blink and our entire country could be in worse shape than New Orleans while the Vilage Idiot fiddle F*cks around playing Nero. and we cower in fear about losing the next election.

8. i think the Iraq war is an Obscenity.. no energy policy is an obscenity

Loosing the Neo Lassai Faire Corporate world on us is an Obscenity

having a wet brain alcoholic drug addict village idiot as the puppet for the Corporate NEOCON Fascists is a cruel OBSCENITY.

10. President Clinton re-tooled this section of the justice department

From adult obscenity to investigating and prosecuting child porn.

Now under Bush, they have hired more personnel, created two different units to prosecute adult obscenity, and taken their focus off of child porn in the process.

Which is more important? Some culture of life they have going on there.
