A federal judge in Houston has blocked Texas’ law prohibiting explicit sexual performances in front of children, finding it unconstitutional. Attorney General Ken Paxton, who is now blocked from enforcing the law, is appealing the district court decision to the U.S. Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals. The law known as Senate Bill 12—dubbed a “drag show ban” by its detractors—regulates sexually oriented performances on public property and in the presence of minors. The Office of the Attorney General (OAG) and local municipalities are responsible for enforcing it. Background U.S. District Judge David Hittner of the Southern District of Texas had blocked the OAG—as well as co-defendants Taylor County, Montgomery County, the City of Abilene, and four district attorneys—from enforcing the law before it took effect on September 1, 2023. He concluded that the law was an unconstitutional restriction on speech. This was the result of a lawsuit brought by female “drag” performer Brigitte Bandit and others in the drag industry, alleging that the law violates the First and Fourteenth Amendments by squelching free speech and being too vague.

Conservatives need to find out where the judge's grandkids hang out in public and make appearances around them wearing inappropriate queer shite and then maybe the judge will realize a line has to be drawn separating high road mentality from common sense.

The power judges have is insane. They themselves and citizens forget they’re public servants.

Likely a rino boomer at this point. He could have been worth a shite in the past but been around too long.

WTF does that even matter? He could still be a fan of the playground.

Reagan left office in Jan. 1989.

It's 2026.

Looks like the weirdo VOR-like judge (former conservative that got old and soft and leans left now) should be overturned by the 5th district.

If not, it should be legal to beat drag queens exposing themselves to children.

Yep, the lunacy is getting out of hand.

Hell is the absence of God.
