Supreme Court Strikes Down Ban on Virtual Child Pornography
'"The sexual abuse of a child is a most serious crime and an act repugnant to the moral instincts of a decent people," Justice Anthony M. Kennedy wrote in the majority decision. Nevertheless, he said, if the 1996 law were allowed to stand, the Constitution's First Amendment right to free speech would be "turned upside down. Congress may pass valid laws to protect children from abuse, and it has," Justice Kennedy wrote. "The prospect of crime, however, by itself does not justify laws suppressing protected speech."'
Although it is 'old news', this decision by the SCOTUS was pivotal and condoned the RIGHT of pedophiles to proliferate the internet with virtual child porn, which everybody knows is just one step from child porn made with real children.
Per Q, Anthony Kennedy was forced out of the SCOTUS, opening the door for another TRUMP appointment. This was a YUGE Swamp Takedown.

Child porn is repugnant, and the CREATORS should be prosecuted.
HOWEVER, don't you find it odd that anyone who becomes overly critical of the DeepState suddenly has tens of thousands of child porn images found on their computers?
Then they are found dead in their jail cells weeks after being admitted.
Child porn legislation is the "sprinkle some crack on him" tool of the DeepState.
It uses peoples' aversion to child abuse to silence calls for investigation into whether the person targeted is really guilty of such a crime, or if they were framed by D.S. devils.
It also makes it illegal for Pizzagate investigators to hold onto certain pieces of evidence that wealthy Moloch worshipers are sacrificing children.
Thus, the actual creators of the child porn can use law enforcement resources to silence critics and investigators.

I think you have no idea how harmful child porn is. It is perfectly fine to prosecute offenders (yes, I read your comments below too). Do you even have an idea how children/adults feel that have been raped, and were filmed? Not knowing when they meet people on the streets who might have seen the pics/footage?
In the UK, some police spokesmen are advocating for not sending perps to prison any more, because there are 'too many' of them. That's a disaster for victims.
The DS will always find methods to set up people.

Your evidence is not porn, it's not art, it's just evidence of a crime. Also, the #1 goal is to delete all material featuring children being exploited. That is a much broader category than what people think CP is. The naming of it obscures what it is: Evidence of a crime. But if you keep it on your computer it will be taken a re-distributed. So report and delete is a better strategy. It could be that your content has never been catalogued into the hash system (for quick lookup using mathematical representation of content rather than human validation). New content can feature children that are still alive and findable.
I am not specifically writing to YOU but people need to move away from the old CP language and attitude and, step-by-step, face the problem and do the right thing... but not in a way that gets undone. Mind your language: "exploitative videos of children" (that includes completely legal stuff like exploitative videos of children on social media and youtube)

In summary..
We need to keep virtual child porn to protect Pizzagate investigators.

Not just Pizzagate investigators. Leftists love using their collection of child porn to try and get free speech sites and image hosts shut down. Or to frame their neighbors.
I don't like doing away completely with illegality of child porn, but the current legislation gives the pedophiles and communists too much abusive power.

You're describing child porn as a Catch 22 that we must force ourselves to live with, because only by its trivialization can we be protected from Communists.
Or am I missing something?

Please read the above more carefully. It seems the intent and meaning is lost on you.
I don't know what future child porn laws SHOULD look like, but I do know that what we have now isn't working.
Remember the child porn ring found on Twitter, and how Twitter banned the people that found it?
AFAIK, those people in the ring have not been prosecuted, but the ones that uncovered it were punished instead.
Is that justice? Is that what you want? Should we continue to trust a government with laws that are used on those that object to child rapists, instead of the rapists themselves? At this point I believe that the current child porn laws are more of a single edged sword, with the blade facing backwards.
What I think would help, is the death penalty for those found to have sexually molested a child. I would require physical evidence, or potentially video/audio as evidence. As, children have been coached to lie before a judge in the past.
THAT would significantly reduce the generation of child porn. As the offenders would be dead. Instead of being released back into the public after being "cured", which I doubt is even possible after the decades of failures in this regard.
So, in summary. Treat the disease (death penalty to child rapists), and use the symptoms (child porn) as non-primary offence that allows investigating and stinging ("have a seat over there") that person.

Much better explanation.
We are in complete agreement.
My OP was intended to draw attention Kennedy's psychology that motivated his opinion. ie. it has nothing to do with his feelings of either freedom or justice
