Federal Judiciary

: Southern District of Florida

Really?

The Humane Society says there is a "massive resurgence" in crush videos since the Supreme Court struck down the animal cruelty video statute last Term 8-1 in U.S. v. Stevens.

Really? Who watches these things?

For those of you who forgot, crush videos, involve women in high heels stomping on small animals.

Yikes!

The Senate passed the Animal Crush Video Prohibition Act of 2010, which criminalizes the creation, sale, distribution, advertising, marketing, and exchange of animal crush videos. The penalty is up to seven years in prison.

This section, unlike the one at issue in Stevens, seems much more likely to pass a First Amendment challenge. We will see soon enough.
