It isn't a "witch hunt", I never said it was. However, we all know that Ashcroft has met with all AGs from the states a couple of times and specifically on the agenda was using local, state, and federal laws against the "digusting purveyors of porn". That doesn't mean just using the COPA style laws, but rather to apply any law possible in order to restrain, contrain, and obstruct the adult industry from doing what is their legal right in the US to do. Legal rights are not important when your bible says it is wrong.

a crisis happened and it was one of many. this time it was feared that dozens of people would be killed.
the state enforced existing laws that are on the books that are designed for this exact thing. it is not the legal right of porn companies to kill young girls and guys. it is not the right of porn companies to break the law.
furthermore, NO ONE is obstructing companies from making movies. (which is their legal right as you correctly stated)
my opinion is that you are stretching things very far to characterize this as a Bush conspiracy while ignoring the obvious possibility - people are dying as a result of violating california state law and it was decided to enforce it. why is that such an outrageous impossibility?
again... the horrible implication of yours is that no action whatsoever should be taken. thats a pretty weird stance considering people are dying. what do you think should happen when people fail to police themselves, break the law and kill people?
