The Supreme Court agreed Monday to decide the constitutionality of a child pornography law that an 11th Circuit panel criticized as criminalizing merely talking about illegal images.

The Supreme Court agreed Monday to decide the constitutionality of a child pornography law that a lower court criticized as criminalizing merely talking about illegal images.
The issue arose in the case of Michael Williams, whose conviction in Florida for promoting, or pandering, child porn on the Internet was reversed by the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.
