A city can ban a strip club but not a state? Is that where the line is drawn?

I just don't understand why the residents of a state have to put up with strip clubs if they have enough votes to ban them.

I believe some states do ban strip club, and the exercise of such power is perfectly constitutional.

However, that's a different issue than whether or not the DOJ should be using its resources to prosecute obscenity cases.

Simple -- requiring a private activity that generates minor external nuisances to move out of range of the nuisance generation is reasonable accomodation, but requiring it to move out of state (which could easily be hours of travel time) is prohibitive.
