The Supreme Court declined to hear a challenge to a Tennessee law that protects children from viewing sexually explicit performances.
The court on Monday denied a petition from Friends of George’s, a Memphis-based theater group, that claimed a law banning sexually explicit performances in front of children violated the First Amendment. In July, the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled 2-1 that the law could take effect, overturning a federal judge’s decision to block the law.
“Another big win for Tennessee! Today, the U.S. Supreme Court declined to hear Friends of George’s v. Mulroy,” Tennessee Attorney General Jonathan Skrmetti said. “Free speech is a sacred American value, but the First Amendment does not require Tennessee to allow sexually explicit performances in front of children,” said AG Skrmetti. “We will continue to defend TN’s law and children.”

SCOTUS ping!
Excellent!
now define a sexually explict performance as any performance that shows a transexual or a gay in a romantic relationship.
Traitor Roberts continues to load shed.
How is this any different from a movie with an NC-17 rating?
Excellent!
Imagine thinking the First Amendment guarantees access to other people’s children.
That doesn’t mean SCOTUS ruled in favor of the Tennessee law, just that the case was not presented in such a manner that SCOTUS felt compelled to intervene.
Less to do with the facts of the case than the sales pitch.
As Rush so eloquently said, “everyone has the right to free speech, no one has the right to be heard!”
These courts and judges have as much power as they are willing to grab.
Butch lesbos, gay pedophiles, bisexual whores, creepy trannies, and pervert furries hardest hit.
Imagine being so dedicated to showing children sexually explicit materials you would go all the way to the Supreme Court.
Are you saying the Court should have granted the challenge to the law?
Roberts doesn’t get to decide what cases the Court hears anyway.

How freaking sick is it that demented immoral liberals are begging a court to let them perform nasty twisted immoral acts in front of kids? Has evil gained that much h of a foothold in the nation that thise sick freaks feel they have a constTuionally protected right to do that? They should be run out of town!
Just think of it, these creeps actually fought this law all the way to the SC.
So, if I am caught urinating in public, I can claim that I am making a 1st Amendment statement?
Maybe if it is my initials in the snow?
