From Jeff Sessions' confirmation hearing:
Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-Utah) praised Sessions' introduction of a resolution demanding federal obscenity laws be "vigorously enforced throughout the United States." Hatch also cited the Utah legislature's resolution declaring pornography as a "public health problem," and asked if Sessions' still believes anti-obscenity laws should be "vigorously enhanced." Sessions said he would consider reconstituting a special Justice Department unit to prosecute obscenity laws.
It's not just Backpage. It appears we are about to enter a new era of attempts to legislate morality not seen since the likes of Ed Meese. Not too surprising given that Meese is on Trump's transition team...
