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.
Section One of SB 12 prohibits a “person who controls the premises of a commercial enterprise” from “allow[ing] a sexually oriented performance to be presented on the premises in the presence of an individual younger than 18 years of age.”
On Tuesday, Judge Hittner released his decision—again declaring SB 12 an unconstitutional restriction on free speech, this time permanently blocking the OAG from enforcing it.
“The Court concludes that Texas Senate Bill 12 violates the First Amendment as incorporated to the State of Texas by the Fourteenth Amendment of the United States Constitution,” wrote Hittner. “The Court further ORDERS that the Attorney General of Texas is immediately and permanently enjoined from enforcing Texas Senate Bill 12.”

Arrest the old bastard. Why is an 87 year old still a judge?
Hey Sodom, meet Gomorrah
I hope Reagan is putting a hex on this guy.
At 87, perverts have had many years to cultivate their perversion.

repeated judicial treason
Well, by more than one standard this guy has no business as judge. Get rid rid of him would be my suggestion, and yesterday was not too soon.
I remember when a Supreme Court Justice famously said he couldn’t describe pornography but he knew it when he saw it.
Is he a dem pervert from Biden era? I was wondering.
Judge Hitler. One of Soros’s boys.
Good God, with all the controls the gov’t can shove down our neck, but we can’t protect kids?
Surprisingly, this judge was appointed by Reagan in 1986. He is 87 years old. Senility must be setting in for him to rule that this perversion cannot be prohibited by Texas law.
I did read it. I was responding to his myriad posts from a glitch or something.
Yet another ad for Home Education.
