The First Amendment guarantees our right to free speech and provides the surest footing for a sound democracy. Regrettably, the First Amendment also has provided fertile ground for demagoguery and posturing. This has been especially true in the realm of electronic media, where lawmakers have tried to extend government's regulatory grasp to cyber space. The justification in vogue for government censorship is to protect our children. Furthermore, those who traffic in obscene and child pornographic material - which falls outside the protection of the First Amendment, as well as those who exploit children or abuse children, should be vigorously prosecuted under our criminal laws. (From Intro. By Sen. Leahy)
