Yes, you are right, my mistake.

Ahh, an issue that slipped my mind.  Then the CDA has been properly shot
down.  And the comment that was made about the court basing thier decision
on filtering programs is also an excellient comment.  Filter programs are
going to be the only way ANY form of the CDA is going to be implemented.  

The question is now, if there is a form of the CDA that passes all legal
tests, will the library have to abide by it, even if the CDA says that
anyone under the age of 18 should not have access to porn?  From the way
some of you talk, you sound as if you'd still protest it.
