Proposed Nassau County, Fla. Ordinance Would Ban All Porn Sales By: Mark Kernes Posted: 09/05/2008 O'NEIL, Fla. - Outgoing Nassau County Commissioner Marianne Marshall apparently hopes to leave behind a legacy that will guarantee free speech suppression for years to come - but First Amendment advocate Lawrence G. Walters won't be making it easy for her.
Marshall's the driving force behind a new proposed county ordinance that would outlaw the sale of any sexually explicit material that, among other characteristics, depicts "multiple penetration by multiple partners of body orifices"; "visible penetration during intercourse, sodomy, or oral sodomy"; "visible ejaculation, urination, menstruation, bowel movements, ejaculate or feces"; and "visible penetration of a bodily orifice with a digit, hand, foot, or inanimate object."
Trouble is, some or all of those characteristics can be found in every sexually explicit movie produced in the U.S., so what the ordinance does is effectively prohibit any XXX product from being sold anywhere in the county.
"What they've tried to do is create a new category of unprotected speech which, as we know from recent Supreme Court precedent in the Free Speech Coalition case, that cannot be done," Walters told AVN.
