I thought it was the reverse: that "obscenity" was specifically
catagorized as unprotected speech.

I can't remember, but I believe this also had to do with court cases
brought by the FCC who were allowed to continue levying fines on
"obscene" material because it was not protected speech.

Or so I remember.
