The question is mis-leading and assumes an unproveable fact. Obscenity (as defined by the courts) receives no protection from the judicial system. Certain cases charging 'obscenity' have been brought to court and been rejected on the 'Free Speech' or 'Free Press' grounds but many have been prosecuted as well.
