[Slate]:Disrobed:

The Supreme Court upheld a ban on nude dancing. The

court ruled 6-3 that an Erie, Pa., law banning public nudity,

including that of nightclub dancers, does not violate the

First Amendment. Requiring pasties and G-strings “leaves

ample capacity to convey the dancer’s erotic message.”

Justice O’Connor’s majority spin: “Being ‘in a state of

nudity’ is not an inherently expressive condition.” Justice

Scalia and Justice Thomas’ concurrent spin: What’s more, a

community should be able to declare public nudity

immoral.
