The Supreme Court upheld a law today that some civil libertarians say is a clampdown on free speech. The high court ruled that prosecutors can go after people that posses, promote or pander child pornography. But critics say under certain interpretations of the ruling, viewing films like Titanic or Traffic could be a criminal offense. The court also ruled that two states can move forward with the execution of two men. FSRN correspondent Matt Laslo reports from Washington.
