Your Weekly Reminder That The Constitution Is Toilet Paper

I already have a sensor thank you very much... it's called a remote control you holier than thou asses:

An upcoming FCC report recommending steps that Congress can take to regulate television violence has sharply divided the agency’s five members.
...
The report concludes that Congress can regulate violent TV images without compromising the First Amendment. It has created some unusual alliances - teaming Martin and Copps, who are often at odds, while dividing Copps and Adelstein, who normally move in lockstep.

Adelstein shares his colleagues' concerns but disagrees on the approach. "The question is: What's the role of government, and what's the role of broadcasters? I mean, there should be some sense of responsibility," he said last month. last month.
...
Shortly after the FCC report’s release, Sen. John (Jay) Rockefeller, D-W.Va., plans to reintroduce legislation that would expand the FCC's "indecency" regulations to pay TV and allow the agency to restrict violent fare on broadcast, cable and satellite.

You know what that means right?  Sex and the City... gone.  Sopranos... gone.  The Shield... gone.  Your right to choose what you bring into your home and what you don't... gone.  Another basic freedom that we took for granted... gone.
