Not a very persuasive argument.  Distributing explicit material on how 
to manufacture package bombs, mercury switches to blow up airliners 
and car bombs are all published today, and are an abuse of the First 
Amendment.  True, Sen. Feinstein's amendment would allow the FBI to 
pursue such publishers, as well as militia organizers--as they should.  
You would think that liberal lawyers would have enough sense to 
determine who is distributing information that contributes to democracy 
in America, and who is working to undermine democracy in America.  I 
would argue that those that produce pamphlets on bomb making are 
working to undermine democracy, and are not protected by the First 
Amendment.  That would be even easier to prove than arguments that 
pornography is not protected by the First Amendment.
