Cruelty against animals is illegal in the US, but what about copying a video of a dog fight? Videos of child pornography are illegal, because the Court has decided that the interest of preventing child pornography outweighs free speech. So should the same standard apply to depictions of animal cruelty? This is one of the many fascinating issues the Supreme Court of the United States will take up this year. Larry hears arguments about this and other fascinating cases.

Let me start by saying that I am strict believer in separation of church and state and also a fan of the desert. With regards to the cross in the Mojave it seems that the question isn't religious but rather historical significance. If we look at religious significance only then shouldn't we remove all of the native American petroglyphs. The question of what is historic in the Mojave is a rather contoversial subject, but that's a whole different can of worms.
