As long as the legislation bears some relation to some legitimate end, it will be upheld. Here, the legitimate end is public morality. Kinda refreshing to see those two words again in a legal opinion. But there has to be a meaningful relationship between the regulated entity and 'public morality.' I can't just randomly ban things (popcorn, staplers, whatever) without explaing why. So what is the 'public morality' relevance of this law?

States are allowed to make and pass silly laws that make no sense what so ever as long as they do not violate the Federal or State Constitution.
