Hello and welcome to the weeds, I'm Jane Kostin and I've been really interested in an

intra-conservative battle that's taking place right now.

No, it's not about abortion or tax policy or liberalism.

It's about pornography and the role that pornography plays in our society and the danger

in their view of pornography on youth and on everyone really.

And a lot of conservatives are thinking very deeply about ways for the federal government,

specifically the Department of Justice, to combat pornography.

Not just the porn industry, but the use of pornography and the availability of pornography

more widely.

One of those people is Robert George.

He's a titan in the world of social conservatism.

He's the McCormick professor of jurisprudence and director of the James Madison program

and American ideals and institutions at Princeton University.

And he's been called the most influential conservative Christian thinker by David Kirkpatrick

of the New York Times.

He's also recently written a letter to Attorney General William Barr asking about how the

federal government attempts to go after obscenity and pornography.

We had a really interesting conversation and I think you might be intrigued by his answer

to a couple of questions about what social conservatives might do with a loss at the

Supreme Court or at the judicial level.

So let us know your thoughts at the Weeds Facebook page and without further ado, here is Robert

P. George.
