FEDERAL OBSCENITY LAW????

Or am I interpreting all of that incorrectly?

That is my understanding of it as well. Obscenity has always been determined on a case by case basis since it is so subjective. DA's tend to stay away from obscenity cases because they almost always go the way of the defendant. (Thank you Mr. Flynt )
