...Supreme Court has consistently held that it is not the government’s place to outlaw the expressions of thoughts which could only tangentially lead to a potential crime. Child pornography does not necessarily lead anyone to go and molest, abduct or rape just as a feigned murder, on screen or on stage, does not necessarily lead to violent outbursts.
