A company that wants to open an exotic dance club in Homestead filed a lawsuit against the borough yesterday in federal court.
Among the claims in the lawsuit are prior restraint from freedom of expression; and that the regulations cause a “chilling effect on constitutionally protected speech.”
My thoughts:
1. I’m sure what our forefathers were fighting for was definitely our freedom to express ourselves by placing a dollar bill in a stripper’s G-string.
2. How is nude dancing considered “constitutionally protected speech?” Sometimes, I feel so stupid for not understanding this stuff.
3. “Chilling effect”? That’s not hyperbolic at all is it?
Dude #1: Did you hear that they stifled the strip club’s freedom of speech?
Dude #2: That? Is chilling.
