This document appears to be a page from a manuscript or book (likely by Alan Dershowitz) produced during a House Oversight investigation (Bates stamp HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_017188). It recounts a legal argument Dershowitz made before Judges Julian and Aldrich concerning obscenity laws, privacy, and the 'Griswold v. Conn' precedent. Dershowitz argues that personal offense at the conduct of others is not a sufficient constitutional basis for banning that conduct, a position Judge Aldrich ultimately accepted in his decision.
