Thanks, I was wondering if I somehow forgot to read
Thank God I wasn't alone.
Fucking word soup up there.
Nope, definitely not alone.
Montana judge continues blocking anti-drag-laws
Yeah, holy shit, that headline is hard to parse with the "maintenance of restrictions on enforcement of bans."
I'm sure many Republicans are rejoicing since a fair few of them love drag shows.
Ha! Your comment is like the headline!

american law confuses me.
It is a good thing the shitty law doesn't get enforced, but it's so strange to me how a judge can just ban enforcement of a law. Is it. Even a law then
Laws can't conflict with the US Constitution, so if a law says that people with certain clothes aren't allowed to speak, then the judge can say that's not a real law.
It's the freedom of speech thing people seem to hate. Drag is a form of art and expression so there's a massive hurdle in trying to ban it. If they can't make it over the hurdle of the first amendment it is unenforceable as a law.
There are still sodomy laws on the books in some states that are entirely useless.
