I don’t think that there will ever not be an issue with appointing a woman to any position of power. I’m sure that there are many qualified women whose names are being mentioned to replace Ruth Ginsberg if she needs to step down, but should only women be considered? No. There shouldn’t be a need to fill a quota of women on the Supreme Court. There should be more emphasis on appointing someone that will do a great job then just focusing on his or her sex or race.
Justice Snow didn’t feel like he needed to see the viewing of this movie because no matter what content was in the film, he felt that it was ok because of the first amendment in the constitution. Justice Loomis was the only one to watch the entire film. Therefore I think that she is the only one who can give a valid argument if it is appropriate for the public’s consumption or not. Despite her conservative values she still gave the film a chance to see if it had any artistic merit.
If you want to watch offensive videos on your own time in the privacy of your own home, go for it. But these things should not be made readily available for children and should not be shoved in the faces of people that are offended by them. Personally, I think that pornography is degrading and disgusting, but it’s one of those things that is never going to go away. The issues of the film are very relevant today. I think that it was easier in the 70’s to regulate the pornography industry because the films were shown in theaters. Today it is more difficult to regulate because of how easy it is for anyone to stumble upon porn on the internet, even by accident.
