Yes, I approve of the state doing that.
And what "chops [such] citizens off at the knees" is the fact that the child pornography is found in their possession, and they don't have a bullshit defense to hide behind. If they don't like the penalties they might face, they should not violate the laws.
As I said, I'm not joining you in being a bleeding heart for pedophiles.
The USSC failed to do its job,
in defending the Bill of Rights,
which
IS a bill of rongs that government is (in theory) disabled from doing.
Usurpatory
ultra vires legislation to influence or curtail the thoughts
and their
free expression of the citizens applies the blade of the ax
to the root of American freedom, which is the
free MIND of each American citizen,
based upon hysteria. About 100 years ago, it was a scandal
if a woman revealed her ankle. Guys were known to loiter
around street car stops, watching the ladies mount n dismount.
If a murder is fotografed,
the killer shud be prosecuted,
not the fotografer.
