Arizona Obscenity Law Decision Nears in 3 Weeks
A three judge federal panel will rule on whether Arizona’s new obscenity law is constitutional after a three week advisory period. Phoenix police remain barred from enforcing the measure against eight downtown bookstores amid 32 obscenity cases in city courts. The legislature adopted the current law after the prior one was struck down, but both lack elements the Supreme Court requires. The panel considered the bookstores’ injunction motion and the city’s motion to dismiss the restraining order with no next hearing date set.
