What is 'pornography'?
As to the 'child' part of that, any interaction with a minor in any way
without parental consent should be grounds for immediate hanging (just
kiddin').

What two or more consenting adults do is between them and nobody else.
Amendment I
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or
prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech,
or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to
petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
Amendment IX
The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be
construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.
Amendment X
The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor
prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or
to the people.
Now a couple of questions for you...
Where in the Constitution does it say the fed's are supposed to regulate
pornography or sex?
Where in the Constitution does it draw a distinction with regard to 'the
people' between adults and minors?
The 10'th Amendment clearly makes these issues STATE issues, not federal
ones.
Simply because a bunch of religious fascist/socialist wanna do it don't
make it right.
See first two para's of the DoI.
