I'm not an attorney, but to me this seems very likely to happen. I would bet that internet porn will be next. I'm sure that people will be able to correct me and tell me how this would never be possible, how it could never happen here. If those people could also explain how the supreme court will never stop the counting of votes to pick a president, how the Senate majority leader would never refuse a hearing to a president's nominee for the supreme court, and how a case where a plaintiff makes up their case out of whole cloth would never be decided by the supreme court, if you could explain those to me as well, I would be grateful.
