Did seven justices really have weekly screenings of "obscene" material between Roth and Miller? This seems like vandalism to me so I have added a [citation needed] tag. 70.162.229.48 (talk) 18:43, 6 January 2009 (UTC)
Did the Roth case ever actually get used by Nixon against the Warren Court? If not, I don't see why his name is being brought into all this.

Miller did not overrule Roth
editI am changing "Overruled by" Miller v. California to read "superseded." Miller did not overrule Roth. As Chief Justice Burger wrote, "[We] reaffirm the Roth holding that obscene material is not protected by the First Amendment." Miller v. California, 413 U.S. 15, 35 (1973). To be more precise, Miller supersedes Roth by narrowing the scope of obscenity to sexual conduct. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jblaufeld (talk • contribs) 17:54, 20 October 2011 (UTC)
