Can someone please explain to me how the first amendment argument is valid here? I read the article, and I still don't get it.

Basically Texas is making it difficult to use your ID to prove you are of legal age to view pornography. Other states are doing this too. Louisiana, however, has made it very easy to use your ID to prove you can legally view pornography - which is why their law is being complied with and not being sued to overturn.
