Case Tests Congress' Ability To Force Libraries To Block Porn

from the back-in-court dept

Apparently, I spoke to soon. Tomorrow, the Supreme Court will hear the appeal from the US government over whether or not they have the right to force libraries who receive federal funds (almost all of them) to use those same non-working filters.
