The point is almost certainly to challenge Ashcroft vs Free Speech Coalition. The current makeup of SCOTUS would overturn it in a heartbeat. Without it, Miller is irrelevant to the ban because harm to minors would trump 1st amendment concerns.

...and then that gets applied and all goes to shit. As the Ashcroft decision said, there are thousands of "real" movies and millions of "real" paintings that would run afoul of this, even though any humans involved are very much of age. This shit bans Sidney Sweeney's breakout role. Cons would riot

Plus, you run into the Australian problem where images of ANY woman with a slight frame somehow becomes illegal. That's going to make you a laughingstock, and you'll end up in a situation much like Canada's: where you have laws against BDSM on the books that nobody enforces.
