Court Decision Narrowly Bars Broad Dial-a-Porn Ban
The court refused to let Congress outlaw the billion-dollar dial-a-porn industry, rejecting claims that a nationwide ban was needed to curb indecent messages. Justices said the law banning explicit telephone message services last year was not justified. The ruling also upheld state provision limits on free lawyers for death row appeals, with Virginia officials winning 5-4 to avoid mandatory second-round representation. Additionally, the court loosened age bias protections, reviving an Ohio pension provision after a disability retirement and ruling against broader employer duties.
