The ruling from a Reagan appointee leaves Matthew Kacsmaryk's ruling defending West Texas A&M's drag ban as an outlier in drag cases. An appeal is expected.
Any guess on how many cases will be added to this terms SCOTUS docket as a result of 5th circuit rulings? Seems like at least 4 additions might be possible.
I love seeing common sense in rulings. In effect the judge saying, ”Boo! Got you. Everyone knows this bill is meant to shut down drag shows. Because the people who wrote it are literally saying that on social media.”
Paxton could do worse other than appeal to the 5th CA...what does he have to lose? After all, they allowed Kacsmaryk's ludicrous mifepristone ruling a bit of slack.
I’m not sure the mifepristone ruling is the best comparison because it’s basically the opposite case, but I reference what I think is the best comparison — and note for concern — in the last paragraph of the top section: the book-ban case.
“Hittner referred to Kacsmaryk’s ruling as “one of the only federal cases where drag shows did not receive First Amendment protection.””
Federal judgespeak for “Judge K is a dumbass”
More or less.
Typo: "Nonetheless, he made do, quickly concluding that the authority granted to local governments under Suction Two"
Fixed! Thanks!

I wonder what the fate of Shakespeare's comedies would be under this law. Cross dressing?? Surely someone would find that pornographic, right?

Yes, got me there, mate...book-ban more germane than the mifeprestone decision.
Now, as you mention, we'll see if the 5th Circuit can keep their grubby paws off it or not when they inevitably get it.
