Supreme Court limits federal power in arson and cable cases

The court narrowed the scope of a federal anti arson law in Jones v U S, signaling limits on Congress power to regulate. It also struck down part of the Communications Decency Act in U S v Playboy, allowing state or local handling of some crimes and shielding cable operators from certain time based restrictions. Justices’ votes showed some conserves and liberals breaking from predictable lines. Public Forum P O Box Odessa Texas notes readers can send comments by mail or internet.

Stephen Chapman argues violence against women has declined and that the Violence Against Women Act did little to improve safety. He notes lower murder and rape rates since 1993, questions the act’s impact, and cites Brzonkala v Tech as illustrating limited federal reach. He calls the act largely inconsequential for most women.
