No Animal Cruelty Exception To 1A

The Supreme Court (8-1) held that a federal law against cruelty to animal videos was overbroad though a narrow one tied to crush videos alone might not be. Well written (including the dangers of relying on the mercy of the prosecutor) with some Roberts' light touches. [Update: I reject one putdown of the ruling here. More here.]
